NextImg:How waiting to impeach Biden can protect vulnerable Republicans

The possibility of the impeachment of President Joe Biden has split Republicans, as those in swing states fear it could jeopardize their chances at reelection.

Impeaching the president is a top priority for many conservatives in safely red districts, but those in swing states fear such an effort will make them seem out of touch. Pursuing an impeachment runs the risk of alienating centrists, who may see such an endeavor as a partisan hit job.

“There are some people that aren’t going to be happy until everybody in Washington gets impeached. And it just looks like that’s the road we’re going down,” Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) told Politico.

The Texas Republican went so far as to dismiss an impeachment as not being among "real issues," and warned that the effort would distract from topics where the GOP is more likely to earn favor.

“Impeachment is going to suck all the oxygen out of this place … The people back at home in my district are worried about inflation, worried about the border, their kids being safe in school — you know, real issues,” Gonzales continued.

Other vulnerable incumbents didn't dismiss the possibility of impeachment but advised holding off until more evidence is obtained.

“Not yet. Let’s put the facts — the committees are doing their work — let’s put a spotlight on all this, and we’ll go from there,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said.

“Are the [investigations] producing enough facts and evidence that warrant taking it to the next step? I don’t think it’s there at the moment,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said.

In a surprising case, the conservative House Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy (R-TX) also advised caution, warning that a Biden impeachment is a major deal.

“We’re talking about the president of the United States,” Roy said. “All of the stuff that we’re getting on Biden and the Biden family ... more than troubling. But we’ve got to go lay it all out and make the case.”

For now, it seems that the vulnerable incumbents will have their way. Three people familiar with the matter told Politico that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) held a closed-door meeting with House Republicans on Wednesday, saying that they don't yet have enough evidence to launch an impeachment inquiry.
