By opening an impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy unleashed an unpredictable and treacherous new political force into what is already the most abnormal election of modern times.
McCarthy effectively set up partisan counterprogramming to the looming criminal trials of his patron, former President Donald Trump, who’s the front-runner for the GOP nomination to take on Biden. The key question heading into the third impeachment effort in three and a half years should be whether this attempt to effectively reverse a democratic election by ousting Biden is justified.
It’s possible GOP committee chairmen come up with new information or at least knit a narrative in the coming weeks that makes it easier for those members to back the speaker’s move. While he is hostage to the far-right of his party on impeachment, McCarthy’s majority runs through districts in states like New York, where some more moderate Republicans represent districts Biden won in 2020. If impeachment is exposed as a naked political play, those seats could swing back in 2024.
