While some House Republicans are pushing for a swift vote that would force a trial in the Senate, others say they may not get the evidence or the votes they need to pass it.
I have a feeling that impeachment isn’t the endgame for Republicans.
Don’t get me wrong: Republicans are duplicitous AF but they are trying to push a narrative that Trump and Biden are tHe SaMe! because they both got impeached.
I suspect that Republicans are trying to get Biden disqualified under the 14th amendment just like many states are doing with Trump. Sure, it doesn’t hold a lick of water but that doesn’t matter to the Republican base or the moderates. If they can keep clambering that Biden was impeached and that he shouldn’t be on the ballot, it will be enough to distract people from trying to steal the election in other ways.
If they want to use impeachment as a reason to block ballot access, then they have to explain why Trump’s double impeachment somehow still qualifies him…
I’m not as sure.

why would they be bound by logic now?
