"Look, there isn't going to be an impeachment, but I think we have a good chance of winning that election next year," McConnell said in Kentucky.
"The president's not going to be removed from office," he noted. "There's a Democratic House and a narrowly Democratic Senate."
Some of the most extreme new members have Congress have been pushing for impeachment.
Thank you to @Miller_Congress @DrPaulGosar @DHarshbargerTN1 @RepJeffDuncan and @RepBobGood for cosponsoring my impeachment resolution against Joe Biden!\n\nHe and his administration failed our military and left thousands of Americans behind in Afghanistan.\n\nSleepy Joe must go!https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1433074440334630913\u00a0\u2026— Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1630528782

Former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is also pushing impeachment.
IMPEACH HIM! \n\nJoe Biden asked the President of Afghanistan to LIE!\n\nIn the transcript, Biden told Ghani to say that the fight against the Taliban was going well "whether it is true or not."\n\nThe Afghan President responded, "Mr. President, we are facing a full-scale invasion..."— Kayleigh McEnany (@Kayleigh McEnany) 1630524975
