At least nine in the House have vocalized their support for charging the president.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has not yet launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden but a number of House Republicans have already voiced their support for Congress to do so.
McCarthy made his most direct threat to the president on Monday night, saying that the House’s investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings is «rising to a level of impeachment inquiry.» The speaker’s comments mark a pivot from where he stood last month, when he killed off an effort from Representative Lauren Boebert to force a vote on impeachment.
«The Speaker of the House is now talking impeachment,» Boebert tweeted on Tuesday. «The Biden corruption has risen to a level that there is no other response that can possibly be leveled against it. Impeachment is a very big deal, but these are incredibly serious crimes. I look forward to holding Joe Biden accountable for all that he’s done.»
Boebert’s enthusiasm to impeach the president was echoed by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who delivered a floor speech on Tuesday urging the House to move forward with the process.
