McCarthy Downplays Prospect Of Impeaching Biden

The Washington Post reports:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is downplaying the prospect of impeaching President Biden if Republicans take control of the House next year, throwing cold water on the efforts of some in the GOP who have been clamoring to impeach the president and others in the Biden administration.

“I think the country doesn’t like impeachment used for political purposes at all,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Punchbowl News in an interview published Wednesday. “If anyone ever rises to that occasion, you have to, but I think the country wants to heal and … start to see the system that actually works.”

Asked whether anyone in the Biden administration has risen to a level that would prompt him to consider impeachment proceedings, McCarthy told Punchbowl, “I don’t see it before me right now.”
