Republican strategist Doug Heye said that McCarthy “knows that if we’re talking about impeaching the president, we’re not talking about inflation and anything that distracts from what is causing 60 percent of the American public to say that we’re on the wrong track.”

But many of the more than a dozen House Republicans who have signed on to Biden impeachment resolutions are not letting up on their calls to impeach the president.

“President Biden is willfully and intentionally endangering the safety and security of the American people by facilitating the invasion at our Southern Border,” said Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), who has cosponsored impeachment resolutions led by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).

“A Republican majority should do everything in its power to hold the president accountable for effectively surrendering operational control of the U.S. border to the Mexican crime cartels. How can we not impeach this president for his purposeful violation of his Article 4, Section 4 constitutional responsibility to protect the states from invasion?” Good said.
