Democrats will move to impeach President-elect Donald Trump for a third time if they have control of the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2026 midterm election, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon warned on Friday.
Trump was elected to a second term in a decisive victory against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, earlier this week. While Republicans also took control of the U.S. Senate, the status of the House remains up in the air, although the GOP currently looks favored to retain its grip on the chamber.
However, Democrats may have a better chance of capturing control of the House in the 2026 midterms even if they come up short this year. The party that controls the presidency typically loses House seats in midterm elections and the chamber is all but certain to be closely divided in 2026.
During his first stint in the White House, Trump was twice impeached by the Democrat-controlled House, the first time in 2019 over his alleged attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate then-candidate Joe Biden and the second in January 2021 over his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was acquitted by the Senate in both cases.
Bannon, who served as White House chief strategist in the early months of the first Trump administration, warned during an episode of his War Room podcast on Friday ...
"Hakeem Jeffries could be, will be, the speaker of the House in two years," Bannon said. "And the first thing he will do in the early days of 2027 is move to impeach Donald Trump. Trust me. They're gonna put $10 billion in back of him. They have nobody else."

ThreePeet! Go ahead. Make his day.
Weaponizing government.
The Democrats believe in this very strongly.
Let’s show them how much we’ve learned from them.
"Imbeach poty seben! Imbeach poty seben!
$10B is total bunk. It was huge that Kamala reportedly just spent $1B. And short of real crime, the Senate would never convict anyway.
Bannon is full of it and was using this as an excuse for Trump to lard up his cabinet and admin with neocon Deep Staters.
I can’t imagine Rs wont do better in 2026, not worse.
By then the country will be rockign and rolling
Big difference, back then they had Pence, now we have Vance.
Do they really want President Vance?
He'll be able to point out on how the Democrats are weaponizing the government against their political enemies and we can't return the White House back in the hands of a Democratic Administration.
Bannon starts in here at 4:30 with the biggest load of horse dung I’ve ever heard him deliver—and that’s saying something:
If they do, I hope the first article of impeachement is that he DEPORTED million of illegals.
They may not.....but I sure wouldn't mind Vance!
Go ahead. Make my day!
I think you say stuff like this until you get in office and then lower the BOOM.
Fire ALL and make them explain what they do and why they should get their jobs back. Musk will do it. What he did with X.
They wont because of historical trends, what happens is the winning party gets lazy in the ballot box.
People don’t turn out to vote because they are drunk on victory. This always happens.
Not if you let the neon globalist uniparty back into the admin.
Yes, but now it will be for a different but unstated reason. It will be done to waste time. Historically a Prez has 18 months to set and implement his/her agenda meaning legislation. Anything that delays that increases the likelihood he/she gets nothing done. Grist for the future political mill!
He would have a hard time getting anything passed even if Republicans had wide margins in both houses of Congress.
People don’t turn out to vote because they are drunk on victory. This always happens.
Not always. It did not happen in 1934. Roosevelt's Democratic party took the House from the Republicans and increased Democrats in the Senate by eight.
In a realighnment government, it is quite possible to increase the Republican's control of the House and the Control of the Senate.
The old dominant Progressive media will have less power. Facebook and Google will probably be less overt in their support for Democrats. The economy will probably be in better shape.
Impeachment these days aren't so much used to throw out the president. The Senate would have to flip completely to the Democrats favor in 2026 at that point and the Senate map looks crappy for the D's that cycle. The liklihood of having the Senate on their side to toss Trump would be miniscule.
That being said, impeachment now is just a tax-payer funded tool to weaken the executive by the opposing party before the upcoming elections to help their own party.
