And they all want him gone. They certainly don't want him muddying the waters for 2024. Many of those GOPers have designs on the oval office themselves.

Not that they would vote for it, but it knocks out Trump as their competition for 2024....

(3,148 posts)7. This is not about unity from republicans
This a political calculation. So they can spin themselves into heroes for impeaching a President that belonged to their party. That's how they will talk about this in the future, you will never hear them acknowledge how they spent 4 years enabling this corrupt asshole as well.
