McCarthy announced the inquiry on Tuesday morning, calling the move the"logical next step" in House Republicans' investigation into allegations of influence-peddling by the Biden family. While Democrats in both chambers were quick to condemn the effort, Republicans in the Senate were split on the inquiry itself and the idea of a potential trial.
When pressed by the Washington Examiner later Tuesday, however, Thune noted that House investigators “need to go where the facts lead them.” Others welcomed the news as a necessary step in order to get answers on Biden’s involvement in his family’s business dealings. That support does not necessarily translate into a vote to convict should impeachment articles be sent to the Senate, though many GOP senators expressed dismay at the House’s allegations against Biden.
Senate GOP Conference Chairman John Barrasso was the only member of Republican leadership to fully embrace McCarthy's move, saying, “The House of Representatives has done an excellent job trying to uncover the tangled web of corruption that we've seen coming out of the Biden administration and specifically the Biden family. Clearly there are facts that need further investigation. The House is headed in the right direction.
