President Joe Biden
Some Republicans may still try to force a vote on impeaching Biden. But his withdrawal sapped the House GOP's effort of its last remaining momentum.
  • After a nearly yearlong inquiry, Republicans released an impeachment report two weeks ago.
  • But the impeachment effort — which had already slowed down — appears destined to go nowhere.
  • Some Republicans could force a vote this month. But it would be unlikely to succeed.

Two weeks ago, a trio of House committees released a 291-page report on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

It was quickly forgotten. Biden is no longer running for reelection, and the political incentives for going after the president — after all, impeachment is a fundamentally political process — have greatly diminished.
