Impeachment article has 200 cosponsors: US rep.

After directing questions on impeachment to Congress, Biden said he thinks the "quickest way" for Trump to be removed from office is with his own inauguration on Jan. 20 and it's a "good thing" Trump isn't showing up.

"One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on. It's a good thing, him not showing up," Biden said. "Because he has clearly demonstrated -- he’s exceeded even my worst notions about him. He's been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world -- not worthy, not worthy to hold that office."

"If we were six months out, we should be moving everything to get him out of office -- impeaching him again, invoke -- trying to invoke the 25th amendment, whatever it took to get him out of office, but I am focused now on us taking control," he added.

Biden said he hasn't spoken with Vice President Mike Pence but that he'd be "honored" to have him at the inauguration.

House Democrats are expected to charge Trump with inciting insurrection in an impeachment article that will be released on Monday, according to the latest draft of the charge obtained by ABC News. 

A single article of impeachment, "incitement of insurrection," charges Trump with "willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States" with comments at the rally outside the White House that "encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the. Capitol," according to a draft.

It also makes note of Trump's threatening call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger. 

At least 153 Democrats planned to co-sponsor the measure, as of Friday afternoon.

Asked at a transition event in Wilmington, Delaware, about whether House Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment against Trump as soon as Monday -- just over a week from when Biden is slated to take office, Biden had a lengthy answer about how he's focused on the pandemic and leaving that decision to Congress.

"Look, I’ve thought for a long, long time that President Trump wasn’t fit to hold the job. That’s why I ran. And my job now, in 12 days -- God willing, I’ll be President of the United States of America. And I’m focused on the urgency of three immediate concerns," Biden said, "the virus, the vaccine and economic growth."

"What the Congress decides to do is for them to decide, but I'm going to have to -- and they're going to have to be ready -- to hit the ground running, because when Kamala and I are sworn in, we're gonna be introducing immediately significant pieces of legislation to deal with the virus, deal with the economy and deal with economic growth," he continued. "So we're going to do our job, and the Congress can decide how to proceed with theirs."

Asked what he would say if a Democratic member of Congress were to ask his advice about whether they should proceed, Biden said he'd deflect.

"I’d tell them that's a decision for the Congress to make. I'm focused on my job," he said.

Pressed on whether he spoke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before taking this stance, Biden said they will be speaking later on "about my agenda as well as whatever they want to talk to me about."

Biden, in announcing Cabinet nominees for key economic and jobs positions, confirmed he gave "serious consideration" to nominating Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for secretary of labor, but he said the two agreed they couldn't risk Republicans gaining control of the Senate.

"He could have done a fantastic job. I can think of no more passionate and devoted ally to working people in this country. But after Tuesday's results in Georgia, giving Democratic control of the United States Senate in a tie vote, Bernie and I agreed -- as a matter of fact, Bernie suggested -- we can't put control of the Senate at risk on the outcome of a special election in Vermont," Biden said.

Biden also reiterated in his remarks he supports raising the minimum wage to $15, passing more coronavirus relief legislation to small business owners and releasing more COVID-19 vaccine doses immediately to Americans to administer as many shots as possible.
