House Republicans leverage slim majority to shield Trump in reelection campaign
Republicans Vow to Investigate Biden and Protect Trump
Shortly after winning control of the House in 2022, Republicans made a bold promise to use their newfound majority to investigate the Biden administration and crack down on its alleged weaponization of the federal government against conservatives, particularly former President Donald Trump.
In the year since Republicans took control, GOP lawmakers have wasted no time in opening several investigations into President Joe Biden. But it’s not just the party leaders who are taking action. Rank-and-file lawmakers like Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) have also stepped up to protect Trump as he faces legal troubles and federal investigations.
Gooden, a vocal Trump supporter, has used his position to push back against efforts to charge the former president on various issues. He believes that Trump is being unfairly targeted and that it’s up to Republicans to fight for him.
“Everything is political against [Trump], and if we don’t fight for him, then I certainly don’t know who will,” Gooden told the Washington Examiner. “So that’s why I am proud to be a part of the charge against weaponization of government, not just against the average American citizen but against conservatism, especially against President Trump.”
One of Gooden’s recent actions was sending a letter to the American Bar Association, urging for “stringent action” against a group seeking to disbar lawyers who worked on Trump’s lawsuits to overturn the 2020 election results in multiple states.
Gooden’s involvement is part of a larger movement within the House GOP to shield Trump from attacks and support his potential return to the White House. House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has also played an active role in protecting Trump from legal troubles in states like New York and Georgia.
While much of the movement in the House is symbolic due to Democratic control of the Senate and White House, Republicans are determined to continue their fight. Gooden acknowledges that the real power lies in the White House, and they are focused on regaining control in the next election.
Democrats, on the other hand, are pushing back against GOP efforts to investigate Biden and his family members. The Democratic-aligned Congressional Integrity Project has relaunched itself to counter these investigations, claiming they are distractions from Trump’s own legal troubles.
“Donald Trump has instructed his puppets in Congress to conduct baseless investigations and shut down bipartisan border deals in order to distract from his attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, two impeachments, 91 criminal indictments, and MAGA House Republicans’ year of legislative failures,” said Hannah Muldavin, senior communications adviser for the Congressional Integrity Project.
The battle between Republicans and Democrats continues as both sides fight for their respective agendas and the future of American politics.
How do Republicans argue that the Biden administration has been biased in their investigations of Trump?
Y I’m here, to stand up for him and fight against this incredibly biased attack from the Democrats.”
Republicans argue that the Biden administration has been using its power to target conservatives and unfairly investigate Trump. They point to investigations into Trump’s finances, his actions during the Capitol riot, and alleged corruption within his administration as examples of this alleged bias.
Republicans also take issue with the way Biden and his administration have handled investigations into Trump. They argue that the investigations have been politically motivated and have lacked transparency and fairness. They believe that the Biden administration is using its power to settle political scores and undermine conservative voices.
With their newfound majority in the House, Republicans have the ability to launch investigations and subpoena witnesses and documents. They are using this power to investigate the Biden administration’s alleged wrongdoing and to protect Trump from further scrutiny.
Some Republicans are also using their positions to defend Trump in the court of public opinion. They appear on news shows, write op-eds, and use social media to make their case against the investigations into Trump. They argue that the investigations are a waste of time and taxpayer money, and that they distract from more important issues facing the country.
However, not everyone agrees with the Republicans’ approach. Critics argue that the investigations into Biden and efforts to protect Trump are simply partisan gamesmanship. They claim that Republicans are using their newfound power to settle political scores and undermine the Biden administration.
They argue that the investigations into Trump’s actions should be allowed to proceed, and that politicians should not interfere with the legal process. They also point out that Trump is no longer president and therefore should not receive special treatment or protection.
Regardless of the criticisms, Republicans remain steadfast in their commitment to investigate Biden and protect Trump. They believe that their actions are necessary to preserve the integrity of the government and ensure that political bias does not influence investigations and prosecutions.
The battle between Republicans and Democrats over investigations and the protection of Trump is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. As long as Republicans maintain their majority in the House, they will have the power to launch investigations and defend Trump. The outcome of these efforts could have long-lasting implications for the Biden administration and the political landscape of the country.
