Trump Warns GOP: ‘I’ll Get Impeached’ if Dems Win Midterms
Summary
During a speech to House Republicans, US President Donald Trump asserted that if the Republican party loses the midterm elections, Democrats would find a reason to impeach him. This warning comes as Trump's approval rating has dropped to 42%, and polls suggest Democrats are leading in the midterms, with high odds for them winning the House. Losing control of either chamber would significantly hinder the GOP's policy agenda for the remainder of Trump's term, including key crypto legislation like the market structure bill. The article notes that Trump was impeached twice during his first term—once in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and again in 2021 for inciting an insurrection—though he was acquitted by the Senate both times. If impeached a third time, the Senate odds suggest a 67% chance Republicans could retain control and acquit him again. Furthermore, some Democrats have signaled support for impeaching Trump over his cryptocurrency dealings, such as hosting a dinner for memecoin holders.
