"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.

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
