Trump: They're Going To Impeach Me

The U.S. president acknowledged the possibility of impeachment if the Republicans lose the election.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that Democrats could launch impeachment proceedings against him if Republicans lose their majority in Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, according to The Hill.

“They’re going to impeach me. They’re going to impeach me. They have no idea why,” he said while speaking to supporters in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Donald Trump had already been the subject of impeachment proceedings twice during his first presidential term. In December 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached him on charges related to the withholding of military aid to Ukraine.

In January 2021, the House of Representatives impeached Trump again following the events of January 6 at the Capitol. He became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice.

In both cases, the U.S. Senate failed to secure the necessary number of votes to convict Trump, so he remained in office. Following the first impeachment in February 2020, senators considered the charges. Neither proceeding resulted in his removal from office.

On November 3, 2026, the United States will hold midterm congressional elections. Americans will elect the entire House of Representatives (435 seats) and one-third of the U.S. Senate. The election will take place midway through Donald Trump’s presidential term and will determine whether the Republicans will retain control of the nation’s legislature.
