From the campaign trail to Capitol Hill, a growing number of Democrats have said they believe President Donald Trump has committed impeachable offenses in his first year back in office.
But with their focus on the midterms, fewer elected Democrats are willing to commit to impeaching Trump if they win back control of the House, given likely Republican control of the Senate and potential for backlash from voters.
Trump has predicted that Democrats will impeach him if they retake the House, and Republicans plan to make that threat a key piece of their midterm messaging.
"They will do anything to stop the Trump agenda," Rep. Dan Meuser, a Republican from Pennsylvania, said of Democrats. "People, if they don't want a two-year president, who they voted for pretty overwhelmingly in 2024, can't allow the House to flip."
Instead, many Democrats said they are focusing on the cost of living and the state of the economy.
"There's a lot for me to be concerned about," said Rep. Eugene Vindman, a Democrat from Virginia.
Vindman is an Army veteran and former national security official who played a role in raising concerns about Trump's 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the center of his first impeachment.
"The American people are concerned about costs, and meanwhile, the president is pursuing foreign adventures," Vindman told ABC News.
Impeachment calls have picked up in 2026 amid the U.S. attack on Venezuela and the Justice Department's investigations into Trump's perceived opponents. A number of progressive Democrats from liberal districts and candidates in crowded blue-seat primaries have called for the impeachment of Trump and key cabinet officials.

The RATz really want that civil war. Do they really think we’ll let them cheat their way into power? Again?
I really can’t stomach Disney - ABC.
I wouldn’t get too optimistic if I were them. And what grounds do they have this time? Enforcing the law?
Grapple, when they are puching for support to do just that with their rent a mob moms? I don’t think so.
Even if the Democrats retake the House and impeach him, the Senate won’t convict him...
...unless he invades Greenland. In which case, whether the Democrats retake the House or not, the Republicans will impeach and convict him.
They “fixed” the economy and affordability during 2020-2024.
In that scenario, MAGA voters will stop supporting the Republican Party. Elon Musk will establish a new party. Sort of like Reform in the UK.
Impeach with what votes?
They don’t control House or US Senate let alone have two thirds of the votes in the US Senate.
Empty noise as usual?
Yup.
You apparently didn't pay too much attention during Geography or World History classes in school. Saying that Greenland is not part of Denmark is sort of like saying that Wales is not part of the United Kingdom. Or that Tobago is not part of Trinidad and Tobago.

I did.
” Saying that Greenland is not part of Denmark is sort of like saying that Wales is not part of the United Kingdom. Or that Tobago is not part of Trinidad and Tobago. “
That’s the biggest piece of crap I heard all day.!
Democrats are the scum of the earth.
Just saying.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and is the largest of the kingdom's three constituent parts by land area, the others being Denmark proper and the Faroe Islands. Citizens of Greenland are citizens of Denmark.
Yes
So why are we offering DENMARK $700 million for the place?
If they are part of Denmark, how come they have a Prime Minister?
Wikipedia huh?
If Puerto Rico is part of the United States, why does it have its own Constitution?
Because they are in control of the place right now.
Other previous US presidents have made offers to buy Greenland.
Trump is not the first.
Look it up.
