politics, the house has held a boat on homeland security's may arcus impeachment and it has been rejectedf the impeachment vote. we did know that a panel of republicans are planning to burrow ahead with the vote and approve plans to impeach the homeland security secretary. it is seen as a historic vote on the house for as critic's happened announcing that effort as being unfounded and now we are seeing the house lacks the votes to pass the israel aid bill as well. we are seeing that vote on going but when it comes to the vote to impeach homeland security secretary, that has been rejected. it still would've made him the first cabinet official to be impeached in almost 150 years. it was virtually certain that a senate led by the democrats would not be voting to remove him, but still a significant action given republicans ability to aggressively oppose the secretary who is increasingly coming under scrutiny and criticism for the handling of the southern border. our coverage continues here on "daybreak: australia." this is bloomberg. ♪ haidi: demographic struggles are changing the face of jap

lisa: she is signaling she is in line with house republicans including on may arcus. -- mayorkas. >>ot be there. this is why this election is important. we have to have a majority to start to do the right thing. lisa: same issue and a different local newspaper sees this candidate does the solution, writing that he would work across the aisle to find solutions. that is his message, but he is tough but not partisan on the border. >> she says she is concerned about the border but opposes the bipartisan solution that would close the border. lisa: both candidates tiptoed around their produced -- presumed top of the ticket. biden and trump. emily covers politics for political. >> they seal -- see sense of dread since joe biden won the district. she doesn't want to be affiliated with biden because he is unpopular. >> until this weekend she wouldn't say she voted for him and 2020. when it comes to his legal problems -- >> if he is convicted, you will not support him? >> i will not support that. >> the race brought an avalanche of ads. >> i'm tom swazi and i approve this message. >> a snow st

house of representatives plans another attempt at impeaching homeland security secretary alejandra may arcuslisa desjardins is there and joins me now. just a few days ago it wasn't even clear this bill could get through the senate. what happened? lisa: there was a rare weekend session after the tumultuous week last week and after overnight work that ended in a 6:00 a.m. boat, where overwhelmingly the senate voted to pass this ukraine foreign aid bill. it is a $95 billion bill. the largest amount is four ukraine, $60 million. there is also money for israel, $14 billion. just under $10 billion for humanitarian aid, including civilians in gaza. there are sanctions and penalties on fentanyl, on international operations and countries found to be complicit with fentanyl. here is what happened. in the end, it was veteran senators feeling there was a complete need to support ukraine. let's look at who voted for this. republican senators, 22 of them. you can see looking at those faces, that is a full spectrum from very conservative to more in the middle. i want to look at this group in another import

mayorkas, secretary mae arcus and whether he is fit for the job. what really baffles me, mr. thompson, i think you said get more resources as if that's a reason. the problem at the border is it doesn't have resources. if secretary mayorkas is not going to let the border patrol do their job, why would you give him more money? that's just not going to do it. you would agree with that. money will not cure this. you mentioned electronic devices. it's only under this president that we opened our borders up to anybody from any country, anywhere in the world. it's because of this administration. and to compare donald trump's -- i heard mention of 700, a number with him compared to the 12 to 15 million we have in this country today -- is absurd, even bringing up the different topics to divert attention. i think the ranking member mentioned that sec. mayorkas doesn't deserve impeachment. neither does the american people deserve what's going on right now. what's interesting, what the words will not explain what the american people are seeing. to see new york city, 4000 illegals take th

his question was, basically, why is biden mae arcus basically working for the cartels. >> okay. >> okay. i think that a lot of republicans have accused mayorkas of fostering some of those issues. making an argument he is trying to open the border on day one. facing back on a lot of those claims used for the republican impeachment effort saying that illegal immigration numbers have actually gone down. so, i think that it is really hard to find, you know these issues and i think that, you know, republicans argue that mayorkas has done a poor job on the border and a lot of democrats have done that, too. i think that that is why this effort has kind of come to fruition. >> we saw a temporary reprieve from a government deadline passing. the next deadline set to happen in march. where's the house and senate as far as resolving this issue of government funding? >> i think what will likely happen is a continuing resolution. short-term government funding bill. it will not make conservatives happy at all. especially after he did it, you know, the first time. i think chip away texas even floated a
