Key Point: “His comments are essentially an admission of what has long been obvious to many, which is that the GOP’s fraught effort to dig up dirt on President Biden and his family is nothing more than a ham-fisted political stunt meant to hurt the president’s reelection chances and place Trump back in the White House.”

Rolling Stone: GOP Rep. Explains Impeachment Push: ‘Donald J. Trump 2024, Baby!’

By: Nikki McCann Ramirez

• HOUSE REPUBLICANS WILL vote Wednesday on whether to formalize their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The party has struggled to gin up a legitimate rationale for moving forward with the inquiry, which has yet to produce any credible evidence of wrongdoing, but one Republican is saying the quiet part out loud.

• When Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) was asked Tuesday on Capitol Hill what he’s hoping to gain from an impeachment inquiry, Nehls responded: “All I can say is: Donald J. Trump 2024, baby!”

• Nehls is one of Trump’s most ardent supporters in Congress, and even floated the former president as a potential House Speaker after Republicans booted Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the role in October. His comments are essentially an admission of what has long been obvious to many, which is that the GOP’s fraught effort to dig up dirt on President Biden and his family is nothing more than a ham-fisted political stunt meant to hurt the president’s reelection chances and place Trump back in the White House.

• Republicans for months have been trotting out flimsy bits of evidence they say point to Biden’s corruption. They’ve produced nothing substantial, however, nor have they been able to articulate exactly which high crimes and misdemeanors the president may have committed. 

• Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-La.) won’t be going on one of the network’s most popular anytime soon. He said on Tuesday that he’s boycotting Fox & Friends because one of its hosts keeps asking him questions he can’t answer about what actual evidence the GOP has on Biden.
