Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday not to hold a vote to table the articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after they are received by the Democratic-led Senate. 

House Republicans formally sent the articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on Tuesday afternoon where a trial could take place.

"Never before has the Senate agreed to a motion to table articles of impeachment," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

"It would be beneath the Senate's dignity to shrug off our clear responsibility," he added.
