House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is conceding there may not be an impeachment vote against President Joe Biden.
During an interview with Spectrum News, Comer pointed to House Republicans’ shrinking majority as he said the “math keeps getting worse” for their majority.
The interview comes amid an impeachment inquiry into allegations the president benefited from his son’s foreign business dealings.
Comer vowed that his committee will release a report detailing the investigation’s findings.
“The accountability, I hope will come this year, but it may come next year with a new president, a new attorney general,” he said.
Comer continued, “At the end of the day, my goal is to get the truth out there and hold people accountable for wrongdoing.”
“That may encompass impeachment. If it doesn’t, that’s fine with me,” he added.
Comer’s comments come after the House impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis.
The impeachment took two votes to pass due to Republicans’ slim majority.
Comer predicted the way the Senate responds to the impeachment of Mayorkas could carry weight in whether the House impeaches Biden.
“I think the conference will get to see what happens with this Mayorkas impeachment in the Senate,” Comer said.
He added, “And how serious the Senate treats that as to whether or not we impeach Joe Biden over here or we just focus on holding him accountable.”
