"Republican Impeachment Bid: Biden Faces Government Shutdown Threat"

President Joe Biden accused Republicans of launching an impeachment inquiry against him because they want to shut down the government. Hard-right Republicans are demanding spending cuts and increased immigration enforcement as conditions for keeping the government open. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, facing pressure from the right-wing of his party, announced the inquiry without holding a vote. McCarthy's move has drawn accusations of hypocrisy, as he previously criticized Nancy Pelosi for not holding a vote before proceedings against Donald Trump began. The impeachment effort against Biden is unlikely to succeed, as Democrats hold the Senate. Former President Donald Trump claimed that his own impeachments were the driving force behind Biden's. Biden emphasized that he is focused on his job and dealing with issues affecting the American people.
