GOP Rep. says investigation into Biden is a ploy to boost Trump in 2024

  • Rep. James Comer implied the House GOP's probe of President Biden's family is meant to help former President Trump win in 2024.
  • Comer connected the investigation to Biden's declining poll numbers and suggested the media can't ignore it given its impact on Biden's 2024 prospects.
  • Comer's comments echo those of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who in 2015 tied the Benghazi probe to Hillary Clinton's poll numbers.
  • Republicans had distanced themselves from McCarthy's remarks, worrying they'd undermine the probe by making it seem political.
  • Comer has frequently tied his investigations to whether Biden will run in 2024 and said they might affect Biden's decision.
