White House Reaction and Allegations
- House Republicans haven’t found evidence that President Biden benefited from his son Hunter’s business engagements.
- The White House has firmly defended Biden, with spokesperson Ian Sams questioning the basis for an impeachment inquiry and labeling it a ploy for right-wing support.
Party Dynamics and Challenges Ahead
- It remains uncertain if McCarthy can secure the 218 House Republican votes needed for an impeachment inquiry, especially with some moderate GOP members expressing doubts.
- With the looming possibility of a government shutdown, McCarthy faces pressure to manage both internal party dynamics and legislative responsibilities.
