Good morning, I'm Taylor Wilson and today is Wednesday January 31st, 2024. This is the

excerpt. Today Republicans in the House close in on impeaching the Homeland Security Secretary.

House Republicans are taking their final steps

toward impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Myorcas, preparing a formal vote targeting a Cabinet Secretary for the first time in almost 150 years.

During a fiery hearing yesterday, the GOP-led House Homeland Security Committee approved

two articles of impeachment against my orcas.

They accuse him of a willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and a breach of public trust over his

handling of the nation's southern border. The impeachment push comes as

President Joe Biden's push for a bipartisan border deal marks a major shift to the right on border and immigration politics.

I caught up with USA Today White House correspondent Joey Garrison to discuss.

Joey, thanks for hopping on.
