House Speaker McCarthy told his members to vote against the resolution brought forward by Rep. Boebert that would impeach Pres. Biden when it comes to the floor.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy speaks to reporters outside of his office at the U.S. Capitol Building on June 20, 2023 in Washington, DC.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has told his members to vote against the resolution brought forward by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., that would impeach President Joe Biden when it comes to the floor later this week.
Boebert sits on the powerful House Oversight Committee and McCarthy said she should be working through that committee given the panel has been investigating matters associated with the Biden administration."She's on Oversight. She should work through Oversight and this investigation. I think we're much stronger when we work as a team," he said.
McCarthy repeated these sentiments earlier Wednesday morning to his conference and according to several members in the meeting, McCarthy acknowledged impeachment could pose a threat to the GOP's"What majority do we want to be? Give it right back in two years or hold it for a decade and make real change?" McCarthy said at the meeting, according to one member.
"We should get to the facts of that [impeachment]. But just doing a privilege motion is wrong. And it's not right for the country. It's not right for the House. We, I think that people deserve better," Rep. Don Bacon told ABC News.
