With Rising Cries for Trump Impeachment Are Dems About to Repeat Past Mistakes
A growing number of Democrats have said they believe President Donald Trump has committed impeachable offenses in his first year back in office. But, after two failed attempts, does the party, or more importantly voters, have the stomach to repeat past mistakes?
With their focus on the midterms, it seems other than the usual “lunatic fringe” far fewer Democrats are willing to commit to impeaching Trump if they win back control of the House. Given its likely Republicans will retain control of the Senate, as before a third impeachment would go nowhere and the party would face potential for backlash from voters.
This even as Trump himself 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.”
However, more “mainstream” Democrats say instead 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.
Democrats are also setting their sights on Cabinet officials: More than 80 Democrats have cosponsored Illinois Democrat Rep. Robin Kelly’s articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the deployment of federal agents to Minnesota and the killing of a Minneapolis woman by a federal agent.
Still, Democratic leaders are moving cautiously ahead of the midterms, when they will need to gain at least three seats to win control of Congress.
“If candidates and members of Congress are not relentlessly focusing on people’s everyday lives, they are making a mistake,” former Democratic Rep. Cheri Bustos, who led the House Democrats’ campaign committee, told ABC News.
“There’s so much of what President Trump has done, is doing, will do that can be labeled ‘impeachable offenses,’ but in the end what good is it going to do? Even if the House has the votes, the Senate will not go along with it,” she said.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat and the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said there’s “definitely a rising clamor for impeachment.”
“Of course, it requires a majority vote of the House to get there, but we need a structured method of thinking through all the lawlessness and criminality taking place,” Raskin said.
Raskin, who would lead impeachment proceedings in a Democratic House, said he would be “moving very quickly” in the next two months on “announcing a systematic way of thinking” about the various actions of the Trump administration that Democrats find objectionable, and potentially worth investigating, but he balked at mentioning the “I” word.
Impeach all they want to. It’s time for the commiecrats to be put in their place. Happy colored day. Five more months until coonteenth. Smoke some crack back. And don’t look back. Dunger do you have the hunger?
The only “rising cries” we hear are from the propaganda media.
I hope the Demoncrats try to impeach Trump again. First they will fail again and second they will once again show they are the traitors to America.
Namer, are you calling all Democrats traitors? That’s just deplorable of you.
Can you be more specific because if calling for impeachment is traitorous, you take the cake. Nebraska Republican Don Bacon has blasted President Donald Trump’s talk of taking over Greenland, branding the idea “utter buffoonery” and warning it could spark bipartisan impeachment efforts—underscoring deepening GOP fractures over Trump’s foreign policy brinkmanship.

That’s just the last month…..
Doing something over and over again that never works is proof of insanity.
Doing something over and over again that you know will never work is Democrat.
RS: Like 65 lost court cases to prove The Big Lie was…. Yet they still believe.
Or infrastructure week, every week.
Or only twenty years and he’s got an outline of his draft proposal for comment not finished finished healthcare plan.
Or a half dozen failed recounts using your people to count…. Yet they still believe.
Think you folks take the cake on this proof of insanity.
And now you still believe Trump will rid you of 20 million brow people in four years. No bloody way, but lots of blood.
As we tear each other apart, Putin smiles. Xi JinPing laughs. Kim Jung Un doesn’t get it.
Not to mention that the democrats are engaged in an orgy Dunger probably gets his dung packed
Paul, I agree and it ALMOST appears that Dunger is giving the Democrat Party all the orders to take down America any illegal way they can. I mean, how else can you take that hate coming out in book form every single post he makes?
PB, it’s lunacy to think I give Democrats orders. It’s instAnce to say I want to take down America. Hate? Just pointing out facts, having an opinion, an opinion that often has been in America since the Founders wrote those documents. I am sorry dear, but your words are bat-shit crazy. You actually agree with Paul that “Democrats are engaged in an orgy Dunger probably gets his dung packed” which I do not even have a clue what he even means. Tis gross, that’s for sure and how he can picture such stuff is well beyond me.
You people are rude, crude, with really bad attitude. You can’t speak intelligently to the issues so you attempt to land ugly personal attack body blows. There is no intelligent discussion in that. None.
Didn’t YOU call names too Frank? That’s called hypocrisy.
It’s called return volley since I only respond, never initiate.
Do you ever have a serious discussion?
The truth hurts Dunger. The democrats are full of lies and hate
Hamondung: what are you even talking about? Drunk talk? The truth hurts Danger; what a silly thing to say. Full of lies and hate? Yeah. prove it or stfu. You feel if someone shows you facts that disrupt your maga paradigm, they are full of lies and hate. Are you really that weak? That shallow?
Take me on is discussion, meet me in debate. Nope, all you got is personal stuff like childish fun with my name highlighting your fascination with excrement. You be living your dream now.
Idiot, Re-read my statement. I did not say you WERE giving orders. Stupid ass. You do this stunt on purpose!
You are right: when you said, and I quote: “it almost appears that dunger (sic) is giving Democrats all the orders…. that you meant that it almost appears that danger is giving Democrats all the orders. I should know better given your disengenuous nature. And such language. Better stay on schedule with your lithium dear.
Maybe if you got back to the issues, stop the personal crap, and quit being so defensive with your frequent threats. Better yet, just skip the response. I will.
Sorry, asswipe, you are the one always Dictating to anyone and everyone. You are so evil. I know who you are and where you are. I did try to be nice, but you wouldn’t even try to see that, and you got Karma back. Good. About time and well past due. I am never going to be nice again and I can take it to a higher level. There is NOTHING you can do about that! Don’t like it? Come get me you coward!
