The upper chamber also voted 51–49 to end the short-lived trial, which began earlier Wednesday.

The first hearing concerning Mayorkas’s potential impeachment over his handling of the border crisis will be held January 10.

All 221 Republicans in the House supported adopting the impeachment-inquiry resolution, while 212 Democrats opposed the measure.
