Some House GOP lawmakers fear their party's new investigations into Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz could potentially backfire politically.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) on Friday launched a probe into Walz, the governor of Minnesota, over his ties to China.
Comer has also been investigating Harris for her role as the Biden administration's point person on the sources of migration to the U.S.
It's not just the Oversight Committee: Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), the chair of the House Armed Services subcommittee on military personnel, is investigating Walz for how he represented his record in the Army National Guard.
Several House Republicans argued the investigations stand in for the scrutiny that would have come from a competitive Democratic primary, which Harris sidestepped by replacing Biden on the ticket.
House Democrats are accusing Republicans of leading a blatant political fishing expedition into their party's presidential ticket.

These guys just have no shame. Is it congress’ job to investigate their political opponents primary process? Are we gonna investigate why Trump didnt go to the GOP debates then too?
No one expects Republicans to govern. So this is stock standard practice.
