Who were the four Republicans who saved Alejandro Mayorkas from impeachment?

Hindustan Times  

A failed attempt to impeach Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday night dealt a major blow to House Speaker Mike Johnson and exposed the disarray within his chamber. The Four Republicans Saved Mayorkas from Impeachment-GOP Reps. Mike Gallagher, Tom McClintock, Ken Buck and Blake Moore. Buck and McClintock say ‘no’ to Mayorkas Two other Republicans who voted “no”, Buck and McClintock, had expressed doubts about the impeachment case against Mayorkas. And then they proceed impeaching a cabinet secretary, which is obviously dead on arrival.” Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican, echoed Buck and McClintock’s concerns about the impeachment case against Mayorkas. “We’ll see what they find in their investigation.” Before the vote on Tuesday, McClintock sent a harsh 10-page letter to his fellow Republicans, criticizing their impeachment push.
