Senate drama unfolds as Mayorkas impeachment trial takes center stage in a historic showdown. Follow the live updates and twists in this riveting political saga!

The Senate is embroiled in a historic impeachment trial for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with Democrats and Republicans clashing over the proceedings. As senators are sworn in as jurors, the trial's scope and potential outcome remain uncertain. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to move to end the trial quickly, while Democrats and Republicans debate the legitimacy of the impeachment charges.

Amid the political theater, the Senate's focus shifts from Mayorkas to pressing environmental issues. Coral reefs face a mass bleaching event, highlighting the urgency of climate action. As the drama unfolds in the Senate chambers, the world grapples with both political turmoil and environmental challenges.

In a surprising turn of events, the Senate votes to dismiss the first impeachment article against Mayorkas as unconstitutional. House Republicans' efforts to impeach Mayorkas on grounds of non-compliance with the law are met with resistance from Senate Democrats. The impeachment trial's outcome reverberates across party lines, setting a precedent for future political showdowns.

Ultimately, the Senate kills the Mayorkas impeachment trial, voting to dismiss both articles and deeming them "unconstitutional." The trial's conclusion marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing power struggle between the two major political parties. As the dust settles, the impact of this impeachment trial on future political dynamics remains to be seen.
