House Republicans Consider Impeachment Inquiry into Joe Biden

House Republicans, led by Kevin McCarthy, are contemplating launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden based on unproven allegations regarding his son Hunter's business dealings. Despite no evidence, McCarthy argues that an inquiry is a natural step forward to uncover information. While the impeachment inquiry does not guarantee impeachment, McCarthy's move has drawn criticism and raised questions about the GOP's priorities and political motivations. Moreover, with Biden's narrow majority in Congress and the lack of evidence supporting the allegations, the impeachment inquiry seems unlikely to gain traction or result in removal from office.
