House Republican investigators accused President Joe Biden of engaging in “impeachable conduct” as part of a long-awaited report. It’s unlikely to change a reality the party has faced for months: They don’t have the votes to impeach him.
The 291-page report released Monday by the Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees comes roughly eight months after Republicans formalized their impeachment inquiry against the president. Their sweeping investigations, largely focused on the business deals of Biden’s family members, have gone on even longer, informally starting around the time they first took the House majority in January 2023.
Republicans on the committees are accusing Biden of two offenses they argue meet the bar for impeachable conduct: abuse of power and obstruction. They’re the same charges that House Democrats cited in the 2019 impeachment against then-President Donald Trump — an inquiry frequently mentioned in the House GOP report.
“The Constitution’s remedy for a President’s flagrant abuse of office is clear: impeachment by the House of Representatives and removal by the Senate,” the committees write in the report, adding they are releasing the report to the House “for its evaluation and consideration of appropriate next steps.”
She is already starting to drop in polls sooner than the experts expected. Trump has focused on name calling which isn’t helping him. If he focused on policies, he will crush her.

Finally! You engage in a real discussion and post a source which backs up your claim

Yes. The sources to back your claims up. Which I repeatedly asked for many comments ago
Can you backup your claim that incumbents share no advantage?
Thats not what I said. Here, I will copy and paste it to make it nice and easy for you
Try again.
It makes perfect sense if you understand Biden is a liability, and she would become the incumbent.
An incumbent after four years in power has an advantage.
Suddenly changing the incumbent via impeachment months before election has not been tried. It makes no sense to think it would have identical impact on the election as being in power for a full term.
It’s soooo funny when people who are voting for a racist, fascist, famously loathed conman try and tell real Americans about political strategy.
Nah, we’re good. 😂

Trump is actually too stupid to comprehend what policies he’s supposed to be discussing. I like when he explained recently “a tariff is a tax on a foreign country!”. What a moron. It’s sad that the GOO came up with such a complete cretin as their candidate again.
