Political strategist Lucy Caldwell warned Republicans on Sunday that an impeachment of President Joe Biden was likely to bolster his re-election prospects.
Caldwell made the remarks on Fox News after host Howard Kurtz complained that the media had buried the vote that kicked off an impeachment inquiry into the president.
"Not saying anything has been proven, but how can the media so easily dismiss an impeachment inquiry?" Kurtz asked.
"Well, I'm actually not quite sure what case you're making here, because if, in fact, I think an impeachment inquiry by Republicans against Joe Biden is going to really, really help Joe Biden in 2024," Caldwell replied. "So if the media were carrying water for Joe and Hunter Biden on this particular story, I have to say, I think that they would be covering this from the rooftops."
Kurtz pressed Caldwell for details about how Biden could be helped by Republicans trying to impeach him.
"It helps Joe Biden because these impeachment inquiries, as we know from recent history, actually warm a president's base to him," Caldwell explained. "We saw that in both Trump impeachments."
"There's also the problem, I think, in this particular impeachment, that there does not seem to be a there there," she added.
