The GOP's impeachment effort can only afford to have three members vote against the inquiry, a slimmer margin of error than initially determined due to the recent ouster of former Rep. George Santos.
The Wednesday vote will also be taking place the same day that the president's son, Hunter Biden, is due to provide closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee. The president son, however, has remained adamant that he is seeking an open hearing.
