US Officials Support Vote for Biden's Impeachment

US President Joe Biden has accused House Republicans of lacking the desire to address "real issues" by passing a resolution to continue an investigation against him. "I wake up every day focused on the issues facing the American people. Real issues that affect their lives, as well as the strength and security of our country and the world. Unfortunately, House Republicans are not joining me," Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

"Instead of doing something to make life better for Americans, they are focusing on attacks against me through lies," he noted. The US leader emphasized that rather than resolving urgent matters such as assistance to Ukraine and Israel or the situation at the southern border, members of the Republican Party "prefer to waste time on a baseless political ploy that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts."

Earlier, members of the US House of Representatives approved a resolution to continue investigating the president as part of the impeachment process. The resolution, presented for discussion among the Republican minority in Congress, directs the House committees on oversight and accountability, revenue and spending, and the judiciary to continue their ongoing proceedings as part of the investigation into whether there are sufficient grounds for the impeachment of the current president of the United States.

All 221 Republican legislators in the House supported the continuation of the investigation, while all 212 Democratic members voted against the resolution.
