President Donald Trump issued a warning to Republicans on 6th January that unless they retain their control of Congress during this year’s midterm elections, the Democrats will have him impeached once more.

In one speech at a House Republican policy retreat, Trump said, You’ve got to win the midterms, because unless we win the midterms, it will be a reason to impeach me. “I’ll get impeached.”

The majority of voters, according to polling, express the opinion that the country is on a bad road, and the economy is the number one issue, less than a year prior to the mid-term elections. It is re-election time in November for all House members and a third of the senators, so it might be the question of whether the republicans can keep executing their agenda in the last two years of Trump’s second term.

There are only two instances of impeached presidents in the House; the proponents of the action in the Senate lacked the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump in either of the two cases.

In 2019, Trump was impeached based on charges brought against him after he was accused of attempting to pressure Ukraine into announcing investigations of then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, among other things, by withholding hundreds of millions of dollars of congressionally approved military aid, in order to damage the election prospects of his political opponent. In 2021, Trump was impeached a second time, over his contribution to the events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol attack as he attempted to overturn his defeat to Biden.

Trump has already announced his innocence a number of times and has attempted to present the impeachment as a political attack.

Democratic U.S. congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) proposed that Trump might be impeached in the aftermath of the U.S. operation in Venezuela to overthrow the president of that country, Nicolás Maduro.

In a statement, she explained, “today, many Democrats have naturally questioned whether impeachment could have been recreated under the existing political reality. I am reconsidering that view. However, in spite of Republicans, who will not take any action, the Democrats cannot afford to stand by and not take any action against such extreme actions by this Administration.”

On the fifth anniversary of the Capitol attack, during a retreat at the now Trump-Kennedy Center, Trump addressed House Republicans, urging them to install Trump as president again, attack the law enforcers, and demand that he be reinstated to lead the House of Representatives.

On day 1 of his second term, he issued a blanket pardon of the hundreds of individuals who participated in the riot, including those subject to violent crimes.

In July, NBC News said that Republican operatives were to leverage the threat of an additional Trump impeachment as an election turnout boost despite Trump not being on the ballot.

Midterms have always been known to have an advantage for the party that is not the incumbent president. A poll conducted by NBC News in October revealed that half of the registered voters would like to see Democrats dominate Congress, and 42 percent would like to see Republicans dominate, which is larger than the margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

The 2018 midterm elections saw the Democrats gain a majority in the House, 235 seats, and Republicans retained the Senate. The 2018 margins compared to 2016, which was a presidential year, were vast, with Democrats only having 194 seats. The blue wave of 2018 eventually led to democrats pushing two impeachments against Trump.
