The House Rules Committee on Tuesday advanced a resolution that would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, readying it for a floor vote as soon as Wednesday.
The committee voted along party lines, 9-4, to send the measure to the chamber floor, after hours of debate that was equally partisan.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., announced as the committee jousted that the full chamber would hold a floor vote on the measure Wednesday. “As new evidence continues to come out connecting Joe Biden to Hunter Biden’s shady dealings, the White House changes their story. Enough stonewalling. Enough lies,” Scalise wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “House Republicans will get to the bottom of it all. We will vote to affirm our impeachment inquiry tomorrow.”
