Republicans will bring a resolution to the House floor in hopes to finalize their impeachment inquiry against President Biden.

On Tuesday, Republicans stressed that the House has an obligation to continue gathering evidence into the Biden family business dealings, emphasizing that the American people deserve transparency.
“This vote would allow the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means Committees to continue their investigations,” said Representative Tom Emmer (R-Minn.). “The evidence mounting against the president cannot be ignored. We know Joe Biden has lied to or misled the American people about the knowledge of his son’s business dealings over and over again.”
Republicans maintain it’s likely Biden was involved in and benefited from his family’s business dealings overseas.
Their announcement comes as the Department of Justice and White House declined to respond to any subpoenas or interview requests without a formal vote.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said the impeachment inquiry is necessary now.
“We’ve come to this impasse where following the facts where they lead is hitting a stone wall ‘cause the White House is impeding that investigation now, they’re not allowing witnesses to come forward and thousands of pages of documents,” Johnson said. “We have no choice, to fulfill our constitutional responsibility we have to take the next step. We’re not making a political decision, it’s a legal decision.”
Senate Republicans, on the other hand, seem to be skeptical over the inquiry.
“There hasn’t been evidence yet of wrongdoing by President Biden himself,” Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said.
The House is set to officially vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday.
Republicans discussed a slew of topics on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
Representative Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) shed light on Harvard president Claudine Gay’s failure to condemn calls for genocide of Jews on the campus.
“This is a moral failure of Harvard‘s leadership and higher education leadership at the highest levels,” Stefanik said.”
The University of Pennsylvania’s President, Liz Magill, resigned shortly after her testimony over anti-Semitism.
Following her comments, six congressional lawmakers from Pennsylvania sent a letter to the school calling for her resignation.
Despite calls from more than 70 lawmakers for Harvard’s president to also be removed after her testimony, the Harvard Corporation said it unanimously supports her.
