While some House Republicans are pushing for a swift vote that would force a trial in the Senate, others say they may not get the evidence or the votes they need to pass it.
WASHINGTON — House Republicans are charging ahead with their investigation into President Joe Biden’s family business dealings, with some in the GOP predicting a formal impeachment vote in the opening months of 2024.
“I haven’t seen any yet, to date, that shows me that the president did anything wrong,” Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio, a former longtime county prosecutor and the leader of the centrist Republican Governance Group, said in an interview.
Since the Dec. 13 unanimous GOP inquiry vote, the Democratic campaign arm has blasted out stories and statements attacking the 17 Republicans who represent swing districts that Biden won in 2020 for “caving to MAGA extremists and Donald Trump.”
Rep. Ted Lieu of California, a member of the Democratic leadership team who served as an impeachment manager in Trump’s second Senate trial, argued that the GOP’s Benghazi probe was the wrong comparison.
“I believe Joe Biden’s numbers will rise as a result of this impeachment because it continues to show that Republicans are focused on priorities very few Americans care about,” Lieu said in an interview outside the Capitol.
It means that Johnson can only afford to lose three GOP votes to pass anything on the floor, including a resolution to impeach Biden which would force a Senate trial that is almost certain to end in acquittal, given the Democratic majority.
