Rep. Don Bacon , R-Neb., had urged his party not to go down that road, saying it was “too early” given the lack of evidence against Biden .

Bacon , who represents an Omaha -based district that voted for Biden in 2020 , shifted his tone and said he wasn't taking issue with it.

Bacon: "I don’t think it’s healthy or good for our country. So I wanted to set a high bar".

Some Republicans in districts that Biden carried have steered clear of the issue.

But failing to move forward with articles of impeachment would be sure to spark a rebellion from far-right Republicans .

They believe that a failure to impeach would give their GOP base the impression that they're exonerating Biden .
