Former President Donald Trump said that he believes Democrats in Congress will face pressure to vote in favor of impeaching President Joe Biden.
In an interview with John Solomon on RealAmericasVoice, Trump urged Congress to impeach Biden, calling him the “most corrupt president in history.” While expressing faith that Republicans would vote in favor due to pressure from their base, the former president went a step further and claimed that Democrats in Congress would face similar pressure.

“The bottom line is, if this cash is true, if all these things are true, you know, the statement is true about the billion dollars because he’s got that,” Trump said, referring to the case against Biden on corruption grounds.
“I actually think there’d be pressure on Democrats to vote for it because I don’t know how you … run as a Democrat when you see such unbelievable corruption, and then you say, ‘we’re gonna vote … that Joe Biden is innocent,'” Trump said.
He then went on to decry Biden as the “most incompetent” and “most corrupt” president in United States history, saying his conduct is further reason for impeachment.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced on Wednesday that he believes the House will go forward with an impeachment of Joe Biden, after much deliberation.
“There’s consensus in our conference now that we are going to have to go to the impeachment inquiry,” he said in an appearance on Fox News. “Obviously, that will be Speaker McCarthy’s call, but I feel like we’re there now … I feel like that is imminent.”
