House GOP divided over impeaching Biden: McCarthy urges caution, Boebert pushes forward.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy urged House Republicans to vote against a resolution brought forward by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado forcing a vote to impeach President Joe Biden this week, arguing now is not the right time. McCarthy argued that Republicans should let committee investigations play out and warned that jumping to impeachment now could threaten their slim majority. The House will refer Boebert’s impeachment resolution to the Homeland Security Committee, allowing Republicans to diffuse the politically thorny issue for now.
