Senate Democrats want to quickly move past the trial. Republicans aren’t going to make that easy — particularly for vulnerable incumbents.
Democrats are hoping to quickly move past the trial and remind voters that their GOP colleagues tanked a border deal earlier this year. But until then, Republicans are looking forward to making them squirm — despite the fact that several Republicans previously panned the House’s impeachment efforts. “They’re going to say whatever they want to say, whenever they want to say it. They’re already doing it,” Tester added.
In a closed-door lunch on Tuesday, Senate Republicans discussed how to best highlight Democrats’ rejection of the Mayorkas impeachment trial. They reasoned that delivering articles on Wednesday would potentially allow Democrats to bury the trial on Thursday night and quickly move on, according to an attendee. They also discussed Tester’s new comments about reviewing the articles after vowing to dismiss them earlier this year, with some arguing the GOP’s pressure tactics are working.
As Tester has faced the GOP’s immigration attacks, he’s called on Democratic leaders to force Republicans to vote again on the bipartisan border deal. He argued Republicans’ impeachment strategy is an attempt to shift blame for that bill’s failure. Similarly, Brown said the GOP’s decision to pursue the impeachment but not to pass the bipartisan border deal earlier this year “speaks volumes.”
