Trump Could Face Impeachment if Democrats Win Midterms

American politics is no stranger to tension. In recent years, the division between the two major parties has only deepened.

The idea of impeaching a sitting president used to be rare. Now, it feels like a political strategy. And once again, Donald Trump could be at the center of it.

President Trump’s advisers believe he could face impeachment if Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, writes Ziare.

According to multiple sources, his team is preparing for that possibility.

This week, Michigan State Representative Shri Thanedar introduced seven articles of impeachment.

He accused Trump of abusing his power on issues like immigration, the handling of humanitarian aid, and how the administration has dealt with court rulings.

Support for impeachment is starting to grow. Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat from a key swing state, recently said he would back efforts to remove Trump from office.

His statement was a big deal. It was the first open support from a senator in a politically divided state.

The Trump administration now feels pressure to act fast. They want to push through key items like tax cuts before the midterm elections.

Trump’s campaign team also believes that the threat of impeachment could energize his supporters.

They want to use that fear to get people to vote, even if Trump himself is not on the ballot.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently told conservative host Tucker Carlson that if Democrats win, they will “immediately initiate impeachment proceedings for any reason.”

His words reflect a growing concern in Republican circles.

Some Democrats see impeachment as a way to energize their own base. It could help them raise money and win support.

But not all Democratic leaders agree. Some believe a moderate tone is better for winning back swing voters who supported Trump in 2024.

Technically, impeachment only needs a simple majority in the House. Removing a president, though, requires 67 votes in the Senate.

That has never happened. But if Democrats gain just a few more House seats, they will have the power to move forward with an impeachment inquiry.
