House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is finding that even a Biden impeachment inquiry, with no hard evidence made public, isn’t enough for his critics.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., talks to reporters about avoiding a government shutdown and launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, following a closed-door meeting with fellow Republicans at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023.
With a government shutdown looming, McCarthy is confronting the same stubborn problem that has driven Republicans before him from the speaker’s job — trying to lead a ruptured GOP majority that’s split between what’s left of the traditional party and a harder-right element largely allied with former President Donald Trump.
This may be the toughest moment yet for McCarthy who is trying to survive his first year as House speaker and live to fight another day.Few specifics on next steps as GOP moves forward on impeachment inquiryAt the moment McCarthy has just nine working days to pass the spending bills needed to fund the government or risk a politically devastating federal shutdown.
A top Trump ally, Gaetz reiterated the conservative flank’s many demands after McCarthy’s meeting — single-subject spending bills, a subpoena for Hunter Biden in the impeachment inquiry and other priorities. McCarthy has prided himself being a survivor, who rose from the ranks over the past nearly 20 years to lead House Republicans.
That said, there still is no viable plan or having the House pass the bills needed to run the government by Sept. 30, when current funding runs out, risking the shutdown.
