US President Joe Biden. Archival photoMOSCOW, 27 May. Republicans, rapidly gaining popularity due to the deteriorating US economic situation and Biden's low approval ratings, may impeach the president, says The Spectator columnist Freddie Gray.
"The Republican Party saw that their opponents — Democrats used impeachment as a bludgeon to remove Trump from power. And now they want revenge", the journalist emphasized.
According to media reports, the Republicans can win the elections to the House of Representatives in November 2022 due to high inflation, record gas prices and Biden's unpopular decisions, which means , the Republicans will have the opportunity to start the impeachment proceedings. According to the author, 70 percent of voters who support the Republican Party consider it necessary to remove Biden from power. Moreover, in his opinion, it is likely that a sufficient number of Democrats who are tired of a bad leader will support the Republicans.
The US Congress said that Biden had lost touch with reality»The next two years of American politics could be the dirtiest in history,» Gray concluded. Earlier, the media published the results of a joint Reuters poll and Ipsos, which saw US President Joe Biden's approval rating drop to a record 36 percent. However, it is noted that the data showed still exceeding the minimum numbers of his predecessor Donald Trump, whose approval rating dropped to 33 percent at the end of 2017. The House of Representatives initiated Trump's impeachment proceedings twice, in 2019 and 2021, but both times the former US president was acquitted by the Senate.
