00:00The political fallout from Minneapolis is spreading, and it's now hitting inside the president's own party.
00:08President Trump made it clear Tuesday he's standing by Kristi Noem, brushing off questions about her future in his administration after the deadly ICE and Border Patrol involved shootings.
00:19Is Kristi Noem going to step down? No. I think she's doing a very good job. I think she's doing a very good job.
00:27But for the first time, the criticism is coming from his own party.
00:31Two Republican senators, Tom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, are now calling on Noem to resign.
00:39Tillis said he has no confidence in her leadership, calling her decision-making unacceptable for a cabinet secretary.
00:46Murkowski was blunt, saying Noem must go.
00:49The break comes as Democrats sharpen their threat.
00:52In a statement on X, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is warning the White House, fire Noem, or she'll face impeachment.
01:00Quote, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
01:03That threat marks a shift.
01:05Democrats had been cautious about impeachment just days ago.
01:09But support is now surging, with more than 140 House Democrats backing articles introduced by Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly.
01:17Kelly first announced her impeachment resolution after the killing of Renee Goode earlier this month.
01:23The effort accelerated after the shooting of Alex Preddy over the weekend.
01:27On the Senate floor Tuesday, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer unloaded on Noem and demanded she be fired.
01:34Kristi Noem is a liar.
01:36She's vicious.
01:37She's also incompetent.
01:39Donald Trump must fire her at once before another American is killed under her watch.
01:44But as for the reality of impeachment, the numbers are still daunting.
01:49Republicans control both chambers.
01:51In the House, Democrats would need at least three GOP votes to pass impeachment.
01:56So far, no Republican has backed removal in the House.
01:59Even if it cleared that hurdle, conviction in the U.S. Senate would require a two-thirds vote.
