House Republicans in swing districts face a dilemma: supporting an impeachment inquiry against President Biden while avoiding extremist labels in the 2024 midterm elections. A 221-212 party-line vote on Wednesday advanced the impeachment process, highlighting the challenge for Republicans in vulnerable seats, particularly in states like New York and California.

Democratic consultant Neal Kwatra and candidate John Mannion view the impeachment effort as a strategic blunder by Republicans, providing Democrats with campaign material. Meanwhile, Republicans like New York’s Mike Lawler and California’s David Valadao are cautiously supporting the inquiry without endorsing impeachment. They aim to balance party loyalty with the expectations of their diverse constituencies.
The focus of the inquiry is on Hunter Biden’s business dealings and any potential financial benefits to the president. Republican lawmakers are attempting to present their actions as bipartisan and responsible oversight. However, their approach risks alienating moderate voters and energizing the Democratic base.
