Senator Rick Scott appeared on Fox Business to discuss his letter to Vice President Kamala Harris, urging her to preside over the impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas. Scott stated, "As the President of the Senate, Vice President Harris is the appropriate constitutional presiding officer to oversee the impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas."

In a letter addressed to Leader Mitch McConnell, Senator Scott, along with several other senators, highlighted the Senate's constitutional responsibility to conduct a thorough trial following the House's impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The letter was signed by Senators Ted Cruz, Eric Schmitt, Ron Johnson, J.D. Vance, Roger Marshall, Josh Hawley, Mike Braun, Tommy Tuberville, Ted Budd, Cynthia Lummis, and Marsha Blackburn.

Senator Scott's call for Vice President Harris to preside over the trial stems from her role as President Biden's "border czar," which he believes makes her involvement in the Mayorkas impeachment trial crucial.
