The Senate voted 51-49 to adjourn the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after the two articles of impeachment against him were defeated on constitutional points of order. This was the first time in 225 years that the Senate voted to immediately dismiss impeachment charges approved by the House instead of holding a floor trial or referring the matter to a special committee for review.
