Ken Buck’s unsparing anti-impeachment op-ed betrays the GOP’s deep unease with the Democrats’ actions. Buck argues that there is no evidence to support the Democrats’ accusations against President Trump and calls for all sides to move past impeachment and dig into other pertinent issues such as gun safety and health care. This reflects the GOP’s reluctance to embrace the impeachment process and its concern that Democrats are focusing on impeachment to the exclusion of other important matters. Buck is also concerned that the Democratic Party will suffer a backlash from voters for its “overreaching” impeachment inquiry, suggesting that Republicans are worried that a prolonged impeachment process could have an adverse effect on their electoral prospects.
