lauren, how does the now mayorkas impeachment push impact those talks and impact the negotiations? >> reporter: it's hard to imagine a world in which this doesn't further complicate those border discussions. despite the fact that republicans and democrats in the senate have been working in good faith to try to find a path forward, a compromise that they could all live with, it's really hard to imagine that even if they got a deal, that it would now be easy to get through the house of representatives where the newly minted speaker, mike johnson, is now dealing with one of his committees who is moving forward with an impeachment proceeding against one of the men who has been in the room in those border talks in the united states senate, alejandro mayorkas, the dhs secretary. i think it does further complicate the ability to get any kind of compromise through the house of representatives and you also have this dynamic where for months, you know, house republicans have been calling on mayorkas to be impeached and i think it just makes it very hard to imagine some of those republicans b

even if he were, even by some wild stretch of the imagination that mayorkas were convicted and removed from if office, you know what would happen? president biden would simply appoint another person to carry out his immigration the policies. so that's the political theater of what we're seeing here. all of this will have zero impact on our border crisis, the humanitarian crisis and certainly the leadership crisis in washington. the fact that we haven't done this as a country in 150 years really says something about what a serious move in the impeachment of a cabinet official is. it would be setting a very dangerous precedent n my view, were this to go through because we could see in the future with politicians from both parties going ahead with attempted impeachments or impeachments based on similar grounds as here, which is basically policy differences. not actual high crimes and misdemeanors. >> senate leaders will meet again today to try to decide how to proceed in their bipartisan border compromise. some favor shelving the deal and move ing ahead with a separate bill with funding f

and so then they would lose another mayorkas impeachment. but it was highly embarrassing, last week, when mike johnson lost mayorkas and the israel aid bill. usually you don't see that happen when you put up two important legislative fixes or legislative bill proposals on the floor because he obviously didn't do a great whip count and republicans are still going to get criticism for focusing on a highly symbolic think of mayorkas's impeachment instead of increasing the budget for dhs and changing the asylum laws that would address something in terms of stemming the flood of migrants at border. >> choosing to play politics over legislating. it was a bad week for biden after the special counsel put his mental fitness in the spotlight again. and the white house responded with areas of where they've seen biden being sharp and alert. and the trump campaign is seizing on this. there is a pro-trump superpac that is out. and when it comes to the super bowl, it a missed opportunity for biden not to give, he didn't do it at the previous super bowl, bu
