Republicans Believe They Now Have Votes to Launch Biden Impeachment Inquiry

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans likely have the votes to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

Johnson claimed the inquiry would not be used as a partisan political tool, unlike Trump's impeachments.

Republicans argue an inquiry vote would strengthen their legal standing and accuse the White House of "stonewalling."

House Republicans have pushed to formalize the inquiry but have lacked the votes until now.
