A House Republican has finally admitted that it’s time to pack up the effort to impeach Joe Biden and move on.

Representative Tim Burchett told NewsNation Wednesday night he thought the House should vote on whether to impeach Biden or not so that they can all just move on.

“We’re not gonna have the votes … that’s clearly the case,” Burchett said. “And I don’t think we ever did.”

Republicans have a razor-thin majority in the House, which has seemed to shrink on an almost weekly basis as GOP lawmakers retire midterm. One of the most outspoken impeachment opponents, Colorado Republican Ken Buck, said his decision to leave Congress at the end of this week was fueled by the pointless chaos of the impeachment investigation.

    It was dead before it started because the only conservatives left are losers that nobody wants around anymore. I hope the democrats eviscerate the right in November because they deserve it. They get ZERO work accomplished these days. Time to go and take your MIC with you.

      Not to mention the RNC’s coffers are nearly empty thanks to Drumpf and his legal troubles, so they have no money left for campaigns this year, which should further help Democrats win more races in November.

    Wait you mean Biden won’t need absolute immunity to protect him after he leaves office?

    But Trump said /all/ presidents need these protections!
