Jeffries does not rule out pursuing Trump impeachment if Democrats win House

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Sunday that Democrats have not ruled out pursuing the impeachment of President Trump should they win back control of the House in the November elections. The comment came during an appearance on ABC’s This Week with host George Stephanopoulos.

When Stephanopoulos asked about the possibility of impeachment, Jeffries responded that the party had not made any definitive decisions either way on the matter. He framed the question of impeachment as one the party had not taken off the table in advance of the midterm outcome.

Jeffries’ remarks link the prospect of impeachment directly to control of the House, indicating that the Democrats’ approach to that step would depend on whether they secure a majority in November. Beyond noting that no options have been categorically excluded, he did not outline specific next steps or conditions that would trigger such action.

The exchange underscores that the party leadership is keeping multiple courses of action under consideration ahead of the pivotal midterm elections, leaving impeachment as a possible response if electoral fortunes shift in their favor.
