The West Wing views the latest impeachment efforts as a risky gamble — for Republicans
No administration is excited about an impeachment inquiry being launched into the sitting president.
The White House official, who was granted anonymity to discuss the mood inside the building, wasn’t wrong. While McCarthy’s announcement was widely covered, by midday, television news had turned its attention to other topics. Within Biden world, those programming decisions reinforced the belief that House GOP inquiries have failed to resonate with the public and that Tuesday’s escalation wouldn’t either.
Certainly, inside the White House, some aides had long expected Biden would be impeached. They’d been preparing for it for months. The president himself has not spent much time dwelling on it, according to two people familiar with this thinking, though it has obviously taken up some of his time and attention.
Biden aides also believe that the escalation is tacit admission by Republicans that their previous probes turned up little.
