Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin was the deciding vote against impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas .
Gallagher 's opposition was not announced beforehand, though he did speak before a closed Republican caucus about his misgivings.
Gallagher: Impeachment should be reserved for high crimes and misdemeanors, not carrying out policy that members of Congress dislike.
Gallagher did not reference Mayorkas ’s de minimis enforcement plans at all when explaining his vote against the impeachment.
Gallagher wants some tangible victories from his chairmanship of the China committee, which was just established this session.
This does not fully clear.
If Rep. Steve Scalise (R- LA ), who was out for treatment for his rare cancer, then Republicans would have enough votes.
