GOP voters and members of Congress are calling on GOP Leadership to start impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden following Devon Archer’s closed-door testimony with the House Oversight Committee. Speaker McCarthy has stated many times he would not support Biden’s impeachment. It is unknown if McCarthy will change his mind.
Following the hearing, GOP Congressman Ronny Jackson called for impeachment hearings to commence, tweeting, “Devon Archer has confirmed that Joe Biden was on more than TWENTY business calls with Hunter. CRIMINAL! Joe Biden’s been taking bribes for DECADES. He’s BETRAYED our country. Impeachment proceedings can’t begin soon enough!!”

Archer allegedly told the committee that Biden called in and sold the family brand during Hunter’s business calls with foreign governments and their entities.
Democrat member of Congress Dan Goldman, made the cries for impeachment louder after he said Biden did call into Hunter’s business calls, but they just “spoke about the weather.”
Wow, following the closed door House Oversight Committee hearing with Devon Archer Democrats said Joe Biden and Hunter spoke during business dealings but only spoke about the weather. Democrats should stop lying. House Republicans must impeach Biden.

At his rally over the weekend, Donald Trump called on House Republicans to impeach Biden. Trump called out Republican members of Congress who refused to support a Biden impeachment. This section of Trump’s speech was met with thunderous applause from the crowd.

Speaker McCarthy and allies have been reluctant to open impeachment proceedings. McCarthy’s top ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, called Lauren Boebert a b**** on the House Floor after Boebert brought impeachment articles against Biden.
McCarthy has a history of working with Biden instead of against him. One of the clearest examples of this came when McCarthy agreed on a debt ceiling plan and then used RINO Republicans and Democrats to ensure the plan passed the House.
Pressure on McCarthy has been building rapidly since the debt ceiling bill. If McCarthy fails to open a serious impeachment inquiry into Biden, GOP members may have enough momentum to vacate the speaker’s chair.
