Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler announced on Twitter that she plans to vote to impeach President Trump.
She noted that Trump “incited a riot aiming to halt the peaceful transfer of power” and that “hours went by before the President did anything meaningful to stop the attack.”
The Washington state lawmaker also called Trump’s eventual video asking rioters to go home “pathetic.”
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the chair of the Republican conference and third-ranking GOP House member, said Tuesday she will back impeachment: “There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution,” Cheney said in a statement
Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) became the first Republican to publicly back impeachment on Tuesday, according to a statement the congressman relayed to Syracuse, New York-based Post-Standard.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a vocal opponent of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, alleged in a statement that the president “broke his oath of office and incited this insurrection,” asking, “if these actions… are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense?”
Other Republicans who could be in favor of impeachment include Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), who said Tuesday he’s “strongly considering” supporting the measure, and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), according to Politico

McConnell's office did not comment on Schumer's demand. If McConnell does not agree, Schumer and the incoming Biden team are preparing to split the Senate's days for an impeachment trial: Working to confirm Biden's Cabinet and pass legislation in the morning, and conducting the trial beginning at 1 p.m. ET each day, as the Constitution requires, in the opening days of Biden's presidency.
