Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. led a press conference today with conservative leaders sounding the alarm against Senate Democrats' efforts to block Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment trial. Senator Marshall was joined in his press conference by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), John Kennedy (R-LA), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO).

During the press conference, Senator Marshall highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating, "Whether we receive the impeachment articles on Secretary Mayorkas tomorrow or next week, the Democrat leader of the Senate still plans on halting the process to stop an impeachment trial."

Senator Marshall emphasized the consequences of blocking the impeachment trial, expressing, "Make no mistake about it, a vote to block the impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas is a vote to keep our borders open. A vote to block the impeachment trial is a vote to tell Laken Riley’s family that we don’t care. It’s a vote that tells 250,000 Americans who’ve lost a loved one to fentanyl poisoning, that we don’t care."

Regarding the potential outcome, Senator Marshall noted, "I think it’s significant that it would only take two Democrats to deny tabling this process in order to proceed with an impeachment trial. But we certainly don’t think that’s going to be the case. Why? Because this issue is so toxic to Senate Democrats to House Democrats and to Joe Biden that they do not want this to be the issue of the day. But my hope is that the good people in Montana and Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania that they hold their senators accountable this November."
