Republicans Back Down on Biden Impeachment Vote Amidst Internal Conflict.

The US House of Representatives rejected an attempt by far-right Republicans to force an impeachment vote against President Joe Biden. The resolution, offered by Representative Lauren Boebert, alleged that Biden violated his oath by failing to enforce immigration laws and secure the US-Mexico border against fentanyl. Some Republicans are eager to impeach Biden as retribution after his predecessor, Donald Trump, was twice impeached by the then-Democratic-controlled House. The impeachment effort is a new headache for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who is also facing pressure from roughly a dozen hardline Republicans who say they stand ready to block legislation as they seek greater influence over the lower chamber's agenda.
