Ladies and gentlemen, big news hit the political scene this week when Rep. Anthony Ogles from Tennessee dropped a bombshell.
He introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris. Yes, you heard that right. This move comes hot on the heels of President Joe Biden suddenly ending his re-election campaign and endorsing Harris as his successor.
So, what’s the scoop? POLITICO’s Olivia Beavers shared some juicy details on X, showing screenshots of the resolution. The accusations? “High crimes and misdemeanors” related to Harris’s role as the “border czar” and claims that she misled the public about Biden’s health.
Ogles didn’t hold back, accusing Harris of failing her constitutional duties and letting chaos reign at the border. He cited issues like drugs, rape, and murder, stating, “Her breathtaking incompetence as Border Czar has allowed a crisis of drugs, rape, and murder to flood the streets of America.”
But wait, there’s more! Ogles also slammed Harris for not invoking the 25th Amendment when, in his words, it was clear Biden was unfit to serve. He declared, “Immediate action must be taken.” This dramatic move adds another layer to the political drama unfolding in Washington.

Over the weekend, Biden, at 81, stepped down from his re-election campaign. This followed a shaky debate performance that raised eyebrows about his mental sharpness and ability to lead. In a swift move, Biden endorsed Harris, throwing his support behind her bid for the Democratic nomination.
Harris seems to be on a roll, securing enough delegates for the nomination and pulling in a massive fundraising haul in just 24 hours. She’s also on the lookout for a running mate, gearing up for a fierce campaign. But the road ahead might not be smooth, as there’s still a chance for another challenger to step into the race.
Ogles, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is no stranger to the impeachment game. He previously went after both Biden and Harris last year. This new resolution is seen by many as part of a broader GOP strategy. Melanie Zanona from Punchbowl News pointed out that the GOP is shifting its focus from Biden to Harris, now that she’s the likely Democratic nominee.
And there’s more heat coming her way. Rep. Elise Stefanik, a top House Republican, introduced a resolution condemning Harris for her handling of the migrant crisis. If passed, this would be a formal GOP-led House denunciation of Harris’s performance as “border czar.”
So, folks, buckle up! The political landscape is heating up, and it looks like Kamala Harris is right in the eye of the storm. With impeachment talks and a presidential campaign on her plate, the coming weeks are sure to be packed with high-stakes drama. Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning!
