It’s just a majority vote and the GOPs outnumber House Democrats by 10 members. So, a very real chance that this impeachment will happen. Dems in the Senate have 2 members who are very GOP-friendly. Manchin and Sinema. So there is a small chance here for Biden to actually be removed from office.

Oh, that’s right! Sorry forgot about that. Well, that’s at least good. Even if they don’t get a removal though, it still normalizes impeachment which is the GOP plan.

They’re nearly the same thing, by pretending they’re going to impeach Biden they make it seem impeachments are no big deal and are boring procedural matters, providing cover to Trump by minimizing his. They don’t even need to bring it to a vote if they can get enough media coverage “investigating” the current McGuffin of the week.
The thing is that impeachment isn’t actually backed by the majority of the GOP. (Obv they might still vote in a partisan manner)
It’s just the freedom caucus people who are threatening removal of the speaker if he doesn’t entertain their evidence-less delusions.

This is about starting an inquiry. The Republicans don’t have the votes to start. Plenty of Republicans will not vote for an inquiry. McCarthy tried starting without a vote today.
