And they all want him gone. They certainly don't want him muddying the waters for 2024. Many of those GOPers have designs on the oval office themselves.

This a political calculation. So they can spin themselves into heroes for impeaching a President that belonged to their party. That's how they will talk about this in the future, you will never hear them acknowledge how they spent 4 years enabling this corrupt asshole as well.
