House GOPers itching to impeach Biden but still lack the votes: report

House Republicans are digging into the sofa cushions for votes to impeach President Joe Biden.

A formal impeachment of the president is all ready to go forward, but for the fact that there aren't enough votes to back the move, according to a CNN report citing multiple senior GOP sources.

The effort is to fortify their stance against the White House and the president’s son Hunter, as they find pushback in their requests to secure critical documents and testimony to back up their accusations that he acted improperly.

Come January, the House is preparing to bring a vote to authorize Republicans' Biden impeachment.

The plan was hatched during a closed-door meeting with GOP leaders on Wednesday, a source told The AP.

“Constituents back home are getting antsy, ‘What are you doing,’ Rep. Barry Loudermilk told CNN. "You know, so that can give some people something to say, ‘Well I voted for the impeachment inquiry.’"

A longtime opponent of impeaching Biden, Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck, who isn't seeking reelection, told CNN his stance is unmoved.

“I have not seen any evidence to change my position,” said Buck. “I will ask for any new evidence and sit down with investigators, if they’re willing.”

So far, two swing state Republicans, GOP Reps. Nick LaLota of New York and Don Bacon of Nebraska who don't appear to be supportive of an impeachment, told CNN they see nothing wrong with an inquiry vote.

A lot of the weight on moving the impeachment forward rests on the shoulders of House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The former member of the House Judiciary Committee appears to be seen as gun shy to recruit more Republicans to push for a formal inquiry.

North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop said it's a tricky position.

“You can have a touch that is so soft that you simply are standing in the middle of the road. That will not do him any good. It will not do any good for the Republican conference or the Republican voter, or the American people. He’s going to have to apply himself and move people along,” he told the outlet.

Biden's been accused of enriching himself from Hunter's business ventures while he was serving in the White House as President Obama's vice president between 2009 and 2017.

The House Oversight Committee contends that Biden mingled with Hunter's business associates during those years and let him tag along on official overseas trips.
