WASHINGTON — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces unease within his ranks about impeaching President Joe Biden, with some politically vulnerable and centrist Republicans indicating they don’t believe there is enough evidence to take such a drastic step.
If he proceeds, McCarthy would need nearly all Republicans to back impeachment under his thin majority. He hasto explore unproven claims about Hunter Biden's business dealings — an inquiry some Republicans say could unearth evidence. But McCarthy can lose no more than four GOP votes before the effort collapses — he's unlikely to win over any Democrats.
“We’ve got to get back to a point where impeachment is what it was intended to be. I feel like, you know, both in the last cycle and in this cycle, we’re converting into essentially a vote of no confidence in the British Parliament. And I don’t want to see our country go down that path,” Fitzpatrick, the co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, said in an interview.Some vulnerable Republicans say they're open to an inquiry.
Rep. Mike Garcia of California, another Biden-district Republican, said impeachment should proceed “through the auspices of due process” and expressed openness to it, depending on the evidence.“What you can’t do is turn a blind eye — if there’s evidence and witness testimony that someone has committed a crime … if it’s a president who’s taking a bribe from a foreign country and then funneling it through family members and then lying about it, that’s a problem,” he said.
