Republican Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles has introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris, citing her alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. According to Ogles, Harris has “knowingly breached the public’s trust” by not invoking the 25th Amendment when it became apparent that President Joe Biden was unable to fulfill his duties. In an interview with the Daily Caller, Ogles stated, “Immediate action must be taken” against Harris for her actions.
Ogles believes that Harris has repeatedly failed to uphold her oath to the U.S. Constitution and that she must be impeached. He specifically points to her role as Border Czar and the crisis at the southern border, which he blames on her “breathtaking incompetence.” The congressman argues that under Harris’s watch, there has been an influx of drugs, rape, and murder into the country. This, in his view, is a dereliction of duty and calls for swift action.
The call for Harris’s impeachment comes after the first debate between former President Donald Trump and Biden on June 27. Many people, including prominent figures within the Democratic Party, were dissatisfied with Biden’s performance and called for him to step down. Within a matter of days, Harris was chosen as the replacement nominee and has since raised over $100 million, breaking fundraising records.
It remains to be seen how much support Ogles will receive from other House Republicans for his articles of impeachment against Harris. However, it is clear that he is determined to hold her accountable for her actions. Ogles is currently facing a primary election on August 1 against Nashville Metro Councilmember Courtney Johnston, according to The Associated Press.
Many voters are likely to agree with Ogles’s stance on Harris and her potential impeachment. They see her as a symbol of the Democratic Party’s increasing radicalism and believe that she is not fit to serve as Vice President. The ongoing crisis at the southern border only adds to their discontent with her leadership.

Moreover, Harris’s rapid rise to power, despite not being elected to her current position, raises concerns about her qualifications and abilities. In contrast, Trump’s supporters view him as a strong and competent leader who always puts the American people first. They believe that Trump’s policies, such as his tough stance on immigration, have helped secure the nation’s borders and protect its citizens.
Ogles’s articles of impeachment against Harris are likely to find support among Trump’s supporters, who see her as a threat to the nation’s security and well-being. Ogles’s determination to hold her accountable sends a strong message to the Biden administration that the American people will not stand for incompetence and dereliction of duty in their leaders.
