Trump Says Democrats Will ‘Find Something’ To Impeach Him If Midterms Go Sideways
President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that Democrats would waste no time pursuing impeachment if they manage to retake the House of Representatives in November, arguing that their opposition is driven more by hostility than policy disagreements.
โTheyโll find something. Thereโll be something,โ Trump said during an exclusive interview on โThe Will Cain Show.โ
โI made the wrong turn at an exit, and letโs impeach him. They did that before. They impeached me on a perfect phone call, turned out. They impeached me twice and, by the way, I won the impeachments very easily and quickly, but they impeach. Theyโre very nasty people [and] they have bad policy.โ
Trumpโs comments reflect long-standing frustration among Republicans with what they view as Democratsโ reliance on investigations and impeachment rather than legislative solutions. During his first term, Trump became the only president in U.S. history to be impeached twiceโonce over a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and later over events surrounding January 6. In both cases, the Senate declined to convict, outcomes Trump and his supporters cite as vindication.
The president joined Will Cain live from Iowa, where he kicked off a push toward the 2026 midterm elections. The visit included interactions with voters and culminated in a campaign-style event in Clive, underscoring the administrationโs early focus on maintaining Republican momentum and defending narrow congressional margins.
Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, with 218 seats to Democratsโ 213. That slim advantage has heightened concerns within the GOP about historical trends that tend to favor the out-of-power party during midterm elections.
History suggests Trump and Republicans face an uphill battle heading into November. Since the 1930s, midterm elections have almost always resulted in the presidentโs party losing House seatsโand frequently losing control of the chamber altogether. Political analysts often attribute the pattern to voter complacency among the presidentโs supporters and heightened motivation among the opposition.
Trump acknowledged that reality while speaking to Cain.
โWhether itโs Republican or Democrat, when they win, it doesnโt make any difference. They seem to lose the midterms, so thatโs the only thing I worry about,โ he said.
โMaybe they [voters] want to put up a guard fence. You just donโt know. It doesnโt make sense. Even if a president did well, they seemed to lose the midterms, but hopefully weโre going to change that around.โ
Republicans argue that the stakes of the upcoming midterms are especially high, pointing to Democratic calls for renewed investigations, aggressive regulatory policies, and expanded government spending. Trumpโs message to voters in Iowa centered on the need for unified Republican turnout to prevent what he described as partisan gridlock and politically motivated impeachment efforts from resurfacing.
