Mayorkas’ confirmation was stalled last week when some Republicans argued that Biden’s nominee was not properly vetted on pressing immigration issues. On Thursday, Mayorkas’ nomination advanced a procedural hurdle after the Senate voted to break a GOP filibuster.
On Tuesday, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said that Mayorkas “does not deserve Senate confirmation.”
“I’ll be voting against his confirmation and urge our colleagues to do the same,” McConnell said.
