On Wednesday, in a 51-to-48-to-1 vote, the Senate passed the motion to kill Article 1.

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.) voted “present” due to her discontent with the impeachment effort.

The motion to kill the first article was proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Another article of impeachment against Mayorkas has yet to be voted on.

On Tuesday, House Republicans delivered two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas to the Senate chamber.

House Republicans first voted to impeach Mayorkas in mid-February due to his failure to enforce border laws amid the chaotic influx of migrants arriving at the Southern border who are illegally entering the United States.
