However, their united front is now threatened by major \u2064disagreements over impeachment. McCarthy is inching closer to supporting impeachment, while McConnell vehemently opposes it.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell expressed his concerns \u2062about \u2062the impeachment process, stating, &#8220;Impeachment \u2063ought to be rare.
