“The math keeps getting worse”: James Comer admits he may have to give up on Biden impeachment probe – By Tatyana Tandanpolie (Salon) / Feb 20, 2024
Amid a lack of evidence, House Oversight chairman admits Republicans’ Biden gambit isn’t looking so hot
The impeachment inquiry House Republicans launched into President Joe Biden may not end with an impeachment vote, House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., admitted in a recent interview with Spectrum News.
Speaking to the news source last week, Comer indicated that the House holding a vote is decreasingly likely because the “math keeps getting worse” for the GOP, a statement reflecting Republican’s narrowing majority and internal skepticism about the merits of the investigation, Mediaite reports.
Comer’s probe — which is examining allegations that Biden accepted bribes, laundered money and peddled influence in connection to his son’s overseas business activities — has yet to yield any substantial evidence of the president committing any wrongdoing, which some Republican representatives have admitted. How the Democrat-controlled Senate addresses the recent impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be an indication of how their inquiry will go, Comer told Spectrum.
