Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is about to get one of her highest-profile roles in Congress yet as lawmakers move forward with the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The House will next appoint its impeachment managers, who will act as prosecutors to plead their case to the Senate. It’s not yet determined who will be on that committee, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is poised to name 11 lawmakers as impeachment managers, according to a bill released last week.
Among that list of names is Greene, who has spearheaded the effort to impeach Mayorkas over the last year. The list also includes Reps. Mark Green (R-TN), Michael McCaul (R-TX), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Ben Cline (R-VA), Michael Guest (R-MS), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Austin Pfulger (R-TX), Harriet Hageman (R-WY), and Laurel Lee (R-FL).
Impeachment managers are handpicked by the speaker, and the high-profile roles can often catapult lawmakers into the spotlight. Previous notable managers include members such as Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), now-Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who has relied on much of that experience for his current Senate bid in California.
