An effort to expel embattled DFL Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell failed in the chamber on Monday. Republican Sen. Jordan Rasmusson of Fergus Falls introduced the motion to expel Mitchell, who last year was charged with burglary.

It was chaos times two on Monday at the Minnesota Capitol as Senate Republicans tried again to expel DFL Sen. Nicole Mitchell of Woodbury, who has been charged with felony burglary. The House also remains at a stalemate with Democrats continuing their boycott.

The Senate vote was 33-33 on whether to consider on the motion to expel Mitchell. Motions die in the event of a tie so it was blocked.

Minnesota Senate Republicans tried to expel Sen. Nicole Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury, from the chamber Monday, arguing that her felony burglary charge restricts her from adequately representing her constituents and that the nature of the allegations is unbecoming of a Minnesota senator.

The Minnesota Supreme Court sided with the DFL in a power struggle with Republicans that the chief justice said had left the state House of Representatives “completely dysfunctional.”

Mitchell faces burglary charges in a trial delayed until after the end of the legislative session. CNBC's Deirdre Bosa reports on a new development regarding DeepSeek. As natural disasters increase in the United States due to climate change,
