He needs to be pissed on.

I guess the only possible point of political gain, will be that every dim now will have to go on record of supporting the guy who is the poster boy of this disaster.

So what will this accomplish really? Senate will vote to acquit and the GOP will be handed a defeat. It is just an empty gesture to satisfy the base.

That seems to be the MAGA agenda at this point.

NEW: Senate Impeachment Trial of DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas Set for Late February
Susie Moore

On Tuesday evening, as RedState reported, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas with a razor-thin 214-213 passage of the resolution.

Although the prospect of a conviction in the Senate is highly unlikely, the vote nevertheless requires that a trial be held in the upper chamber. And it appears that will be sometime in late February, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office, with Senate President Pro Tem Patty Murray presiding over the proceeding.

Also on Tuesday evening, Democrat Tom Suozzi won his old House seat (NY-03) back in a special election, replacing Republican George Santos following his expulsion from Congress. With the outcome of that race looming, House Republicans likely knew they needed to hold the vote quickly or risk not being able to pass the resolution.

3) That’s one of the reasons the House GOPers wanted to vote tonight.
