Some Republicans and media observers are acting cautiously as the subject of impeachment comes up in reference to President Joe Biden this week.
Fox News contributors Joe Concha and Ari Fleischer warn Republicans could elicit sympathy for Biden on 'The Story.'
McCarthy said he was making such an assertion based only on the direction the information and evidence House Republicans gleaned through their investigations has taken the storyline. Since then, somewhat of an impeachment fervor has been mounting, as Democrats stand essentially universally opposed while Republicans appear to have differing views on the prospect.
Media critic Joe Concha appeared to echo such warnings in an interview Friday with Fox News, saying impeachment talk at this juncture risks the prospect of gaining Biden sympathy and potentially sympathy-votes in his reelection bid. Concha said an impeachment proceeding will similarly need 17 Democratic senators to join Republicans to vote to convict and remove Biden from office. He noted Trump's pro-impeachment critics faced a similar conundrum with a narrowly divided Senate.
"In the end, you're going to have another situation like we had with Trump impeachment, but not removal," Concha added.At the time of President Clinton's 1998-99 impeachment proceedings, some observers said the Arkansas Democrat similarly benefited from such a dynamic, as the House voted to impeach, but the Senate did not convict-and-remove.
