Biden and Sanders Open to Impeachment but Avoid taking a Firm Stance
<Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday both expressed openness to impeachment proceedings against President Trump while, unlike some other 2020 Democrats, not explicitly calling for Congress to do so.
Following Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivering a statement in which he reiterated the findings of his two-year investigation, Biden's campaign said that the former vice president agrees with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that "no one would relish what would certainly be a divisive impeachment process." However, the campaign adds that impeachment "may be unavoidable if this administration continues on its path."
Similarly, Sanders on Wednesday saidthat he "will support" the decision to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump should the House Judiciary Committee "deem it necessary," although he did not call for this step to be taken himself. House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) had earlier in the afternoon said that when it comes to impeachment, "all options are on the table.">
