For the first time, President Joe Biden addresses the Republican-led impeachment inquiry announced by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy earlier this week, NBC News reported.

Biden made these comments at a campaign reception in McLean, Virginia on Wednesday.

"I don't know quite why, but they just knew they wanted to impeach me. And now, the best I can tell, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government,” said Biden.

"So look, look, I got a job to do. Everybody always asked about impeachment. I get up every day, not a joke, not focused on impeachment. I've got a job to do. I've got to deal with the issues that affect the American people every single solitary day," he added.
