In a recent interview with Fox News Sunday, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) believes the Republican-controlled House is most likely headed towards an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden over his alleged corruption throughout his family, but also worried that if the House did impeach that the Republicans could lose control in the upcoming elections.
Mace said impeachment would put their “majority at risk” because moderate Republicans that face reelection in districts that President Joe Biden won in 2020 would be extremely hard to win again if the impeachment hearing is seen as all politics and no actual substance.
She also noted that “the evidence we have seen is overwhelmingly piling up” which would support impeachment and their constitutional duty.
Representatives like Congressman Ken Buck from Colorado already faces a massive hurdle for reelection and during the interview Fox News host Shannon Bream asked Mace “So what about this issue of impeachment? Is the party divided?”
“I do believe we are. At this point, an inquiry is different from an impeachment vote and is another tool in the toolbox. But I will tell you, every time we walk the plank, we are putting moderate members, members that won Biden districts, we are putting those seats at risk for 2024,” Mace answered. “We are putting the majority at risk.”
“And it’s not just impeachment that does add other issues like abortion, etc. also put those members on the plank,” she noted. “We ought to follow the facts and we have to be better than Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi really politicized the impeachment process. We do not want to do that here. We have to show overwhelming, undeniable evidence in order to move this thing forward. And if we can’t, then we should not. But if we do, then we ought to use every tool in the toolbox to make sure the American people see it for what it is and we can hold everyone accountable.”
