Senators will be sworn in now that House GOP managers delivered the articles.

US House impeachment managers deliver articles of impeachment for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate the Capitol on April 16, 2024.Senators are expected to square off Wednesday, largely along party lines, over whether to proceed with a full-scale trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of immigration policy and the southern border.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas speaks during a joint press conference with Guatemala's President Bernardo Arevalo at the Culture Palace in Guatemala City, on March 21, 2024.Many Democrats believe that the articles of impeachment, which accuse Mayorkas of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust" are baseless and politicized.

"This is raw gut politics," Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said during a news conference on Tuesday where he shared the stage with the House impeachment managers. It's unclear what Tester will ultimately decide. But if he sticks with his party, there is ultimately very little Republicans can do to force a trial to go on. That doesn't mean they'll make things easy.
