No Consensus on Starting Impeachment Proceedings Against Biden

The newspaper "The Hill" reported that "some Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives support the initiation of impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden next September, but there is no consensus on this issue yet." The newspaper quoted Congressman Ralph Norman from South Carolina: "It's necessary. I mean, if not now, when? We have enough reasons not only to start the proceedings but also to impeach him." At the same time, the report stated that "other Republican representatives announced that they are not ready to take this step yet." It quoted Congressman Don Bacon from Nebraska saying: "I think there should be a direct link between the president and any evidence before starting an investigation for impeachment," explaining that "we need solid evidence of a crime or serious wrongdoing, rather than just the simple assumption that it could have happened. I think we need more strong evidence to move in this direction." Previously, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Republican from California) did not rule out the possibility of starting impeachment proceedings against Biden early next month. He indicated in July that this is the only way to find out the truth about the current president and his family's involvement in corruption.
