PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee who is poised to control the panel if the GOP takeover next year, said Republicans must consider impeaching President Biden.
He said the GOP should weigh impeaching Mr. Biden for failures in office, most notably his administration’s inability to stop a massive influx of illegal immigration through the southern border.
“I think that’s definitely a discussion we have to have,” Mr. Jordan told The Washington Times at a Republican planning retreat in North Florida.
Mr. Jordan’s committee would lead an impeachment trial. But the lawmaker said the decision to try to remove the 79-year-old president from office would have to be agreed upon by every House Republican.
“The conference has to decide,” Mr. Jordan said. “You have to have complete buy-in from the entire conference and the leadership of our conference.”
