Ogles is leading the impeachment calls against Harris over her “willful refusal to uphold immigration laws”.

Ogles, in the first article, said Harris’ decision to go against the law stems from her alleged “inaction” with border security and immigration law as a “border czar”.

The lawmaker also accused the vice-president of a “breach of public trust”, alleging that she “knowingly misled” the public and Congress about “the physical and cognitive well-being” of President Joe Biden.

 

 

The articles also claimed that Harris had been incompetent in discharging her duties.

Ogles’ first attempt to impeach Harris last year was unsuccessful and stalled in the judiciary committee.

The lawmaker’s second trial comes 48 hours after Biden withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Harris to take his place for the Democratic Party’s ticket.

Biden’s shaky debate performance against former President Donald Trump last month, which heightened concerns over his age and mental alertness, was the catalyst for Democrats’ calls for him to end his reelection

She Democrat has not formally announced Harris as the party’s flagbearer. If nominated, she would be the first Black and South Asian woman to be a major party nominee.

On Monday, the presidential hopeful raised more than $81 million in donations to her cause.

The amount is believed to be the largest 24-hour fundraising in the history of the US presidential campaign.

 

Ogle’s impeachment calls have not received support from any member of Congress.
