Representative Nancy Mace has said GOP lawmakers will face pressure to oust the president if they win back control of Congress
Republicans will be pressured to impeach President Joe Biden if their party wins back control of Congress in November’s midterm elections, US Representative Nancy Mace has claimed.
“I believe there’s a lot of pressure on Republicans to have that vote, to put that legislation forward and have that vote,” the South Carolina Republican said on Sunday in an NBC News interview. “I think that is something that some folks are considering.”
Mace, who describes herself as “a conservative who works with Democrats,” has a chance to retain her own seat in Congress after winning her primary election over a challenger who was backed by former President Donald Trump. She raised the ire of Trump supporters by voting to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election and criticizing Trump over the US Capitol riot.

However, Mace voted ‘no’ when Democrats impeached Trump for a second time in January 2021. She told NBC News host Chuck Todd on Sunday that she had voted against Trump’s impeachment because she believed he had been stripped of his right to due process. She added that she would oppose Biden’s impeachment under the same circumstance.
“I’m going to read how that bill is filed, what’s in it, what evidence there was,” Mace said of any impeachment case against Biden. She added, “I typically vote constitutionally, regardless of who’s in power. I want to do the right thing for the long term because this isn’t just about today, tomorrow, this year’s election. This is about the future of democracy.”
