"Fewer elected Democrats are willing to commit to impeaching Trump if they win back control of the House"

[Miles Archer]

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 warns Republicans they have to win midterms or he'll 'get impeached'

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."

1. Why bother? The Senate does nothing, he's been impeached 2 times already. Do the people's business.

Call hearings, question officials, pass legislation that helps people. The majority of voters are sick of Trump and want something done for them, let the Democrats do that.

[Gore1FL]

8. Not fighting the GOP narrative for the last 45 years hasn't been a successful strategy for us. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

2. The whole thing will collapse from unpopularity, a crashing economy, or falling asleep.

We're gonna try a third time? I know, hard to accept, but maybe the stupid parts of the voting populace need to suffer a bit.

[newdeal2]

3. America knew he was a crook in 2024

All his criminality is already on the record and he still got elected. A futile impeachment attempt seems like a dumb tactic to me.

[JI7]

4. Democrats need to do what they need to win in their particular district/ state

A lot of voters are assholes and/or fools.

Vance is not popular so doing something that makes him President could turn some people off.

[RandomNumbers]

19. Your subject line, exactly

I'm not sure why this is so hard to grasp for some.

( but yes, it is reasonable to have reasonable discussions about what that looks like for a particular rep)

[Gore1FL]

5. I'd like to say I was shocked.

I have not seen the party rise to moment very often; in my opinion it is why we fail to consistently win elections. It doesn’t matter if you have the best ideals or the best ideas if you refuse to fight to implement them.

[Vinca]

6. Maybe it's better they're quiet about it rather than giving Trump a reason to hit the campaign trail and whine

before the midterms. Some morons might be swayed to vote for a Republican solely to save Trump's miserable behind.

7. I don't think it's "Pie in the Sky" to think we'll win back the Senate too.

I think Peltola is going to win in Alaska, for one.

[Ferryboat]

9. Not just TSF but members of the regimen should be held accountable for their actions

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission modeled after South Africas.
Compromised of federal judges. Maybe some former members of congress.

Remove the process from the political sphere where those opposing can run interference and slow things down.

Many details would need to be sussed out obliviously.

11. I'd prefer Nuremberg trials, but this is more feasible

[Autumn]

10. Then why do they want control of the house if not to get rid of the fucker and his policies?

[aocommunalpunch]

14. Apparently, to "do the people's business"

Or something like that. Removing the cancer seems like a better approach, but we wouldn’t want anyone to actually know that with a unified front, right? Right?

[JCMach1]

12. Just send him to The Hague for trial when we retake the Presidency

[Celerity]

17. The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

[JCMach1]

21. Send him anyway

[Raftergirl]

13. Their time will be better spent working against Donald's agenda, then another impeachment, which will

have the same result as the previous two impeachments.

[intheflow]

15. "We're going to impeach trump & hold treason hearings for his enablers"

is probably THE most winning campaign slogan I can imagine. Who the fuck is going backlash this promise when 70% of citizens polled across party lines think Trump’s second term has been a shit show?

[D_Master81]

16. It's a failing strategy

Yes to all of us we want this to happen. But unless something changes dramatically there isn’t a single Republican let alone almost 20 that will convict. Go in and start trying to pass legislation that while it won’t go anywhere you can show voters what a post 2028 agenda would look like. Block his BS agenda and present our side. Impeachment would just look like petty politics

[RandomNumbers]

20. And keeping in mind how failing his health is.

He might not make it until 2028.

Prudence might suggest removing him from office by other means, even before Satan calls him home. (e.g. 25th amendment or whatever recourse is available to remove a President clearly afflicted with severe dementia and psychosis.)

[Arazi]

18. Oh, the same Dems who've condemned millions of us to zero healthcare

They caved on the shutdown and it’s no surprise they’re caving on impeachment
