Possible date that Trump and JD
Earlier this week, Donald Trump openly acknowledged a fear long implied but rarely stated. He warned Republicans that losing control of the House in 2026 could open the door for Democrats to move against him.
Trump suggested that a Democratic House majority would likely pursue another impeachment, potentially leading to a conviction and ending his presidency before 2029. His remarks carried a sense of urgency rather than casual political rhetoric.
The warning reflected a presidency shaped by political deadlines. If Democrats regain the House, they would have the authority to initiate impeachment proceedings as soon as the new Congress convenes on January 3, 2027.
According to reports, potential articles of impeachment are already being discussed. Allegations range from obstruction of justice and constitutional violations to abuse of power and corruption, setting the stage for another historic confrontation.
Having already been impeached twice and acquitted both times, Trump could become the first president to face a third formal impeachment effort. Such a move would be unprecedented in American political history.
Still, removal from office would remain uncertain. Even if the House impeached him, securing a conviction in a Senate controlled by Republicans would be extremely difficult, turning the process into a fierce partisan battle.
For Democrats, the dilemma goes beyond legal strategy. They must weigh whether pursuing impeachment would weaken Trump—or energize his base and ultimately strengthen his political position.
