Former President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on the Republican-led House of Representatives to impeach President Joe Biden. During a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, Trump criticized Biden’s management of the economy, the U.S.-Mexico border, and foreign relations.
He specifically called for Biden’s impeachment, accusing him of abusing the powers of the presidency to target political adversaries.
Trump stated that Congress should impeach Biden for “attacking his political opponent by weaponizing the DOJ, the FBI, and even local DAs and attorneys general against his political opponent.”

He claimed that Biden poses a threat to democracy for this reason, alleging that law enforcement is being used against him as a political rival.
This renewed push for Biden’s impeachment coincides with House Republicans successfully impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas earlier in the week.
At the rally, Trump criticized Biden’s policies and leadership, particularly focusing on issues such as the economy and immigration. He accused Biden of mishandling these areas and argued that he should be held accountable through impeachment.
Trump’s call for impeachment reflects ongoing tensions within the Republican Party regarding Biden’s presidency and the direction of the country. Some Republicans, including Trump, believe that Biden’s actions warrant impeachment, while others may disagree.
It remains to be seen how this latest push for impeachment will impact the political landscape and the dynamics between Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
However, Trump’s continued influence within the Republican Party suggests that his calls for impeachment could resonate with many GOP lawmakers and voters.
