House Republicans push off Biden impeachment bid for now as hard-right clamors for action

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:15:49 GMT

By LISA MASCARO (AP Congressional Correspondent)WASHINGTON (AP) — Eager to impeach President Joe Biden, hard-right House Republicans forced a vote Thursday that sent the matter to congressional committees in a clear demonstration of the challenge that Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces in controlling the majority party.The ability of single lawmaker in the 435-member House to drive an impeachment resolution this week caught Republicans off guard and many of them viewed it as a distraction from other priorities. The measure charges Biden with “high crimes and misdemeanors” over his handling of the U.S. border with Mexico.Rep. Lauren Boebert, backed by allies, was able to use House rules to force a snap vote on such a grave constitutional matter. The 219-208 party-line vote sent her resolution to committees for possible consideration, like any other bill. They are under no obligation to do anything.Still, Boebert, R-Colo., argued during debate, “The House is taking h...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:15:49 GMT

Before Jake Bauers and Billy McKinney unexpectedly became two of the Yankees’ more consistent hitters, the journeymen were teammates at Triple-A.There, the non-roster invitees talked about their up and often down careers, their experiences in the majors, and the success they were having at the highest level of the minor leagues earlier this season. But rather than longing for the bright lights of The Show, Bauers said he and McKinney focused on “enjoying wherever you are.”“If you’re in Triple-A and all you’re thinking about is the big leagues, chances are 1) you’re not going to be playing well, and 2) you’re going to be miserable,” the 27-year-old Bauers said Wednesday after he and McKinney homered in a 4-2 Yankees win over the Mariners. “Most of the conversations that we did have were more just about how to enjoy whatever’s happening wherever it’s happening.”That perspective helped the two outfielders thr...
