Poll: Democrats Pledging to Impeach Trump Could Help Their 2026 Midterm Chances
Briefly

Amidst the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party plans to focus on convincing voters that Democrats will pursue impeachment against President Trump if they gain power. Despite the party's belief that the electorate has become fatigued by the idea of impeaching Trump after two past impeachments, polling indicates this strategy might fail. Historically, the party of an incumbent president often struggles in midterm elections, and Trump is set to leverage his influence to rally his supporters.
"It is a key priority of his, obviously, to keep the House majority, because he knows what would happen if we didn't." - Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
Polling, however, suggests that this theory could backfire on Republicans.
The Republican Party's strategy for winning the 2026 midterm elections... is reportedly set to rely on arguing to voters that, if Democrats obtain power, they will undoubtedly attempt to impeach President Donald Trump.
After two impeachments against Trump in his first term, the American public has tired of the idea of additional impeachment proceedings against the president.
