(New York, NY) – President Trump made history during his first term by being impeached twice. In one case, it was alleged he arranged a quid pro quo in order to try and expose wrongdoing by the Biden family in Ukraine. Then, he was impeached for “inciting violence” and “insurrection” following the events of January 6, 2021 — at the US Capitol. Both impeachments ended in acquittal.
Now, Trump says he anticipates being impeached for a third time — if Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives, following this year’s midterm elections. Trump spoke during the annual GOP retreat and addressed Republican lawmakers at the Trump-Kennedy center in DC, saying “If we don’t win the midterms … they’ll find a reason to impeach me… I’ll get impeached.”
Trump also openly questioned why there is a historical trend of sitting presidents seeing their party lose in the midterms. But he also complained that Biden was never impeached. He said it comes down to the mindset of Democrats, in comparison to Republicans. “We don’t impeach them. You know why? Because they’re meaner than we are. We should have impeached Joe Biden for 100 different things.”
The president also offered advice for Republicans that are out on the campaign trial. He noted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the tax-cuts within the legislative package. Trump said, “You have so much ammunition, all you have to do is sell it — taxes… There are so many goodies in the bill. You have to get the word out, because the people in the back of the room (journalists) won’t do it.”
It’s fair to assume Democrats will impeach Trump if they have the votes in the House to do it. Past record is a strong precedent. Investigations will likely hinge on President Trump’s actions while in office, such as immigration crackdowns, tariffs, and potentially things tied into DOGE.
The data gives Democrats a lead in general congressional polling. RealClearPolitics puts Democrats four points ahead (46%-42%) — which would mean the House changing hands. Trump faces a 55.6% disapproval rating on economic issues. Clearly, Trump’s strategy is to highlight how “affordability” is set to improve with lower taxes. During his speech at the GOP retreat he highlighted new stock-market records — boosting 401(k) values — and discussed plans to address expired middle-class health insurance subsidies.
