President Joe Biden’s allies are bracing for a possible impeachment by House Republicans and looking to turn it into a liability for GOP candidates in the 2024 elections.
They are tapping a deep bench of Democratic veterans of Donald Trump’s two impeachments and a team of two dozen White House aides to paint the impeachment effort as an evidence-free political stunt that exposes the disarray in the Republican Party.
Representative Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on that panel and the manager of Trump’s second impeachment, recently gathered Democratic members and staff on a Sunday evening Zoom call to hone their message. Their efforts have been coordinated with White House officials, who spent much of August preparing for a hostile messaging war over impeachment. The day after McCarthy’s announcement, the White House released its own memo rebutting GOP impeachment allegations, saying they are “based on lies.”
“Extreme House Republicans want to distract people from their chaotic inability to govern and its impacts on the country,” Sams said this week. Republicans say Hunter Biden was cashing in on his connection with a powerful father and that the president is lying when he says he wasn’t engaged in his son’s overseas work. They’re also portraying the Biden family as corrupt, saying millions of dollars Hunter and the president’s brother James received from their business dealings amounted to bribes intended to affect US policy while Biden was vice president — and say without evidence that Biden was involved.
