Hurd cautions impeachment inquiry could benefit Biden.
Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd: McCarthy’s Impeachment Inquiry May Help Biden
Former Texas Representative Will Hurd has suggested that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and the Biden family’s business dealings may unintentionally benefit the incumbent. Hurd believes that there is evidence indicating that Joe Biden used his position as vice president to assist his son, and he believes Congress should thoroughly investigate whether any laws were violated.
“But we’ve also got to be clear that this kind of activity, if you’re going to use this investigation as merely a political bludgeon against your opponents, Republicans could potentially do what Democrats did and, ultimately, solidify Joe Biden’s base at a time when he’s losing his base,” Hurd said.
Hurd, who is running as a critic of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican primary, dismissed speculation that an impeachment inquiry into Biden could distract from Trump’s own legal problems and inadvertently assist him. He pointed out that concerns about Hunter Biden as a national security threat should also extend to Trump’s handling of classified documents.
While Trump maintains a significant lead over his rivals in the polls, Hurd has struggled to gain traction and did not qualify for the last debate. However, he remains optimistic about participating in the upcoming debate in Simi Valley, California.
“I’m not surprised by the amount of support Donald Trump has. He has a very loyal base, and they’re going to be with him — they’re going be with him to the end,” Hurd said. “So part of it is engaging those people who want to see something different and making them realize that, if you want to see something different, now is the time. You’ve got to start making those steps in September. You don’t get to wait until November.”
Hurd, who faced backlash for criticizing Trump at an Iowa Republican Party fundraiser, downplayed the possibility of running as a third-party candidate for No Labels in the next general election. He clarified that he is running to be the Republican nominee.
