House GOP Faces Risks and Resistance With Bid to Impeach Biden
- House GOP impeachment inquiry into Biden risks backfiring by aiding Democrats with fundraising and bolstering Biden ahead of 2024 election
- Swing district Republicans face pressure to justify impeachment probe to voters and are being targeted by Democrats over their votes
- Major question whether House GOP will have the votes to approve eventual impeachment articles with razor-thin majority
- Declining to impeach could anger conservative voters and House members eager to see Biden impeached
- Internal GOP opposition has already forced leadership to pull bills this year, so just 3 defections could sink a party-line impeachment vote
