Trump Issues Dire Midterm Warning To GOP: Win Or I’m Impeached
President Trump warned House Republicans on Tuesday that losing the midterms would all but guarantee another impeachment push from Democrats, underscoring the high stakes of Novemberโs elections.
โYou gotta win the midterms. Because if we donโt win the midtermsโฆtheyโll find a reason to impeach me,โ Trump told the Republican conference during its retreat at the Kennedy Center.
โIโll get impeached,โ he continued. โWe donโt impeach them because you know why? Theyโre meaner than we are. We should have impeached Joe Biden for a hundred different things.โ
โThey are mean and smart, but fortunately for you, they have horrible policy,โ Trump added.
Trumpโs remarks reflect growing concern among Republicans that Democrats are prepared to weaponize impeachment once again should they regain control of the House. That warning has been echoed by GOP leadership.
Watch:
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issued a similar message late last month at Turning Point USAโs America Fest in Arizona.
โIf we lose the House majority, the radical left as youโve already heard is going to impeach President Trump,โ Johnson said. โTheyโre going to create absolute chaos. We cannot let that happen.โ
The concern is not hypothetical. Trump was impeached twice during his first termโfirst in 2019 after Democrats regained control of the House, and again in early 2021, just days before his administration ended. Both impeachments failed to result in a conviction in the Senate, reinforcing Republican claims that the proceedings were politically motivated rather than constitutionally grounded.
Since then, impeachment has increasingly been used as a political threat rather than a last-resort constitutional remedy. Over the past year alone, Democrats have repeatedly floated impeachment articles against Trump and other Republican officials, often without clear legal grounding or broad party consensus.
Most recently, some Democrats have suggested impeachment following the U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolรกs Maduro last weekโan operation praised by many Republicans as a decisive national security action. Critics on the left, however, have argued the move exceeds executive authority.
โThese individual actions are impeachable offenses in their own right, but their ever mounting cumulative impact on our countryโs stability and health puts everything in a new light. I now believe that our Democratic Caucus must imminently consider impeachment proceedings,โ said Rep. April McClain-Delaney (D-Md.), who is facing a primary challenge from former Rep. David Trone (D-Md.).
The renewed calls echo earlier efforts that failed to gain traction. Progressive lawmakers previously introduced impeachment resolutions over Trumpโs border policies, energy decisions, and foreign policy actionsโnone of which advanced beyond committee stages or garnered broad Democratic support.
