In a deeply partisan move that has sent ripples through Washington, House Republicans have voted 221 to 212 to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This decision, taken in late September, represents Republicans' effort to showcase solidarity in their conference despite a glaring lack of substantial evidence against President Biden.
Republicans have contended that a formal vote is needed to enhance their footing in potential court disputes over record retrieval or subpoena defiance. The ultimate goal is to legitimize the inquiry and all processes attached, despite the currently unsubstantiated allegations.
