voted no. now, let s go live to capitol hill where fox news senior congressional correspondent chad pergram has all the details. now, chad, we heard yelling. then we heard cheers from the floor. what can you tell us? well, democrats were yelling at the republicans to close the vote. because they were prevailing in this, obviously democrats did not want to impeach alejandro mayorkas, so they were winning, they kept yelling regular order. shut off the vote. and so here s what happened at the end. as you say there were four republicans who voted no. but i want to point out that that s with a caveat. here are the four who voted no and i will explain why this is very important. mike gallagher republican of wisconsin. ttom mcclintock. ken buck republican of colorado. the vice chair of the republican conference blakemore. now, at the end of the vote he switched his vote so this lost. 216 to 214. it was 215 to 215. by rule, a tie vote loses in the house of representatives. so why d
in his report on the biden classified documents investigation. now, while hur ultimately decided not to charge biden for mishandling the classified documents going back decades, the bigger news was what his team uncovered about the president s mental faculties or lack thereof. the 345 page document is the must-read tell-all of the day. complete with gems like this. he, the president, did not remember when he was vice president. forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended, if it was 2013 when did i stop being vice president? and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began. in 2009 still vice president? he did not remember even within several years when his son bo died. and his memory appeared hazy when describing the afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. now, there is simply no way to explain this. you know the white house is worried about the report when biden s attorneys felt the need to dispute the findings about

on that. he will bring us the breaking news as it continues. meantime, breaking today, it is now in the supreme court s hands to decide whether or not former president trump is eligible to run for president. the nine justices hearing arguments today around this question. is colorado correct in barring trump from its 2024 ballot for engaging in insurrection , which is something the former president has never been criminally charged with. all of the states that you see on the screen also weighing challenges to trump s eligibility.so the decision really has massive implications for millions of voters across the country. here s reaction from the former president. watch. i listened today. i thought our arguments were very strong. an argument is you re leading in every race and every state. and biden, you re leading in the country, by a lot. and can you take the person that is leading everywhere and say hey, we re not going to let you run. you know, i think that s tough to do. b
