Washington — House Majority Leader Steve Scalise will return to Washington next week after completing cancer treatment, giving Republicans another vote in their attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Scalise's office said in a statement Thursday that he "successfully completed his autologous stem cell treatment and has been medically cleared to resume travel." The Louisiana Republican is in "complete remission," the statement said.
His return could give House Republicans enough votes to impeach Mayorkas after an embarrassing defeat Tuesday, when a small group of Republicans helped sink the GOP-led effort.
