Currently, the Republicans control both the House and the Senate, making a third impeachment very unlikely.

Summary

Efforts to impeach Donald Trump for a third time are intensifying as he begins his second term.

The non-partisan group Free Speech For People launched the “Impeach Trump. Again” campaign, citing constitutional violations, including his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riots and breaches of the emoluments clause.

The group also accuses Trump of campaign finance violations, xenophobic rhetoric, and abuse of power.

However, impeachment remains unlikely with Republicans controlling Congress. Democrats may revisit impeachment if they regain control in 2026.

    Impeachment is the check against his power. It would be better to convict, but the democrats need to make the argument and convince the people that Trump should be held accountable. Get Republicans in the Senate and House on record supporting Trump’s crimes, and then beat them in the midterm elections.

    Impeachment is how you win those elections. Rolling over and showing your belly is why Democrats keep losing before the fight begins.

        I mean, in a better world, we would have competent progressives who know how to run on an anti-fascist campaign. That we’re losing the fight is not a reason to stop fighting. It’s a reason to reevaluate our tactics and fight harder.
