House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will endorse an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden this week, a move that will give him some breathing room within his party but likely prevent House Democrats from wanting to work with him.
McCarthy will tell House Republicans in a closed-door meeting on Thursday that launching an impeachment inquiry into Biden is the"logical next step" for the House GOP investigations that started when Republicans took the majority.
Now, it seems as though GOP leaders are looking to begin those processes, which could have significant ramifications on McCarthy's speakership, an already fragile position, as well as the outcomes of the 12 appropriations bills needing to be passed to avoid a government shutdown. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , an ally of McCarthy, said she would not vote for funding the government if a continuing resolution does not address an impeachment inquiry for the president.
However, while an impeachment inquiry may soothe the hard-line conservatives, it is likely to alienate centrist Republicans who have been skeptical of such a move, such as Reps. Ken Buck and Don Bacon .
