Biden has avoided publicly weighing in on the impeachment effort, signaling that he would leave that up to congressional leaders as he focuses on legislative priorities and getting his Cabinet confirmed.
He disclosed to reporters this week that he has reached out to the Senate parliamentarian to discuss if the chamber can divide its time between legislation or nominations and an impeachment trial, something the Senate didn t do during Trump s 2020 trial.
