Closer looks at failed impeachment vote and Haley losing to 'none of these candidates' in Nevada

Stephen Colbert asked Joy-Ann Reid about the then-pending impeachment vote of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in the interview of her I embedded in Colbert talks 'Trump has no immunity' plus Joy-Ann Reid and Katy Tur on the election. That vote took place shortly after and failed with literally comic results. Watch Seth Meyers recount MTG and House Republicans Humiliated as Mayorkas Impeachment Crashes and Burns: A Closer Look.

Seth takes a closer look at House Republicans' attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas crashing and burning when a Democratic lawmaker they thought would be absent made a surprise appearance to cast the decisive vote.

Green vs. Greene with Al Green providing the decisive vote from a wheelchair after temporarily leaving the hospital. Wow, that really was dramatic, even if the result was comic. Nancy Pelosi wouldn't have made that mistake; she could count.

Speaking of comic, I shouldn't be surprised that Nikki Haley lost to "None of these candidates" in the 2024 Nevada Republican Primary since Donald Trump was not on the ballot. Colbert made that the second topic in Speaker Johnson Gets Spanked | Nobody Wins Nevada GOP Primary | Trump’s Pick To Run The RNC.

The House GOP achieved new levels of dysfunction this week with their botched impeachment vote, Nikki Haley took second place in Nevada’s primary despite running unopposed, and the former president is pushing RNC chair Ronna McDaniel to resign.

It gets worse for Haley. She isn't even registered for tonight's Nevada Republican Caucuses, while Trump is, and those will pick Nevada's convention delegates, so she'll get none of them. Instead, she's focusing on the Republican caucuses in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I hope she gets delegates there.

Finally, the end of Ronna McDaniel's time as RNC chair comes as no surprise to me other than it took longer than I expected. After all, everything Trump touches dies — eventually.

Stay tuned for another short post tomorrow. Normally, I'd have something longer planned for Friday, but I have an appointment in the morning and a work meeting in the afternoon, so brief it will have to be.
