Biden homeland security chief survives US House impeachment vote

Description

US President Joe Biden's immigration chief escapes impeachment over the border crisis by a razor-thin margin, in a show of support that left House Republicans two votes short of the total they needed to force a Senate trial. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has long been in Republicans' crosshairs over what they describe as a humanitarian crisis, with record numbers of mainly South and Central Americans trying to enter the United States from neighboring Mexico.

Former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor called working under Trump 'terrifying," saying many things Trump wanted the department to do were illegal. Former White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, says he'll be voting for Biden. And former national security adviser John Bolton won't be voting for Trump or Biden. Instead, he'll write in the name of a conservative candidate.
