House Republicans are increasingly skeptical that President Biden’s impeachment push will be successful.
“I don’t think we have the will to impeach Joe Biden. … We’re not going to do that. We have a two-seat majority. There’s probably a lot of alienation in this tough district. There are going to be people who don’t want to do it, whether they’re independents or moderates,” Rep. Troy Neals (R-Texas) told Fox News Digital.
“They’ve laid out a good case to impeach Joe Biden…but I don’t think we have the will to do it.”
Each Republican member of Congress who spoke to FOX News Digital expressed the belief that what the investigation uncovered looks bad for Biden, even those who believe it rises to the level of a felony or misdemeanor. , it was unclear whether the House would pass an impeachment resolution.

Some noted that House Republicans’ razor-thin two-seat majority has made it difficult to pass important legislation in the past.
“That’s always the question with anything,” Rep. Greg Murphy, RN.C., said of the numbers. “There are some people who love to scream and rant and get excited and have it all wrapped up in their ego. You never know when or where they’re going to come out.”
He added: “I think there is certainly evidence.”
Another Republican lawmaker, who spoke freely on condition of anonymity, agreed that the impeachment push has lost momentum due to the busy presidential election year environment.

“I think elections are always going to lose momentum. As soon as we move into a formal presidential election, I don’t think we’ll know if the same enthusiasm will continue,” the Republican said.
Asked about skepticism within the conference about actually voting in favor of impeaching Biden, they said, “It’s not me who’s worried, but there are dozens of others.” .
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska), who represents the district won by Biden in 2020, said investigators have yet to find conclusive evidence, but said the investigation was a fact-finding mission. He defended that.

“If an official says they can’t identify a particular crime, that’s a problem. But an investigation is welcome. It’s important that voters know the truth,” Bacon said.
In mid-December, the House of Representatives voted to formally open an impeachment inquiry into Biden, with all members of the Republican conference supporting the impeachment inquiry. The House Oversight Committee is currently leading a joint investigation with the House Judiciary and Ways and Means committees into whether Biden used his former position as vice president to enrich himself and his family. However, the White House denies it.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
