President Donald Trump warned that he could face impeachment if the Republicans do not secure victory in the upcoming midterm elections. Speaking to House Republicans on Tuesday, he emphasized the necessity of winning to avoid potential impeachment, stating, "they’ll find a reason to impeach me." His remarks come as recent polls indicate a lead for the Democrats in the elections, with nearly 80% odds from Polymarket suggesting they will take the House.
As the midterm elections approach, all members of the House and one-third of the Senate will be up for election in November. A loss for the Republicans could severely hinder Trump's policy agenda over the next two years. Key legislation concerning the regulation of the cryptocurrency sector, including a significant crypto market structure bill, is anticipated for a vote soon, as noted by Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott.
Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 42% amid concerns over rising living costs and internal divisions regarding his administration’s handling of various issues. Having faced two previous impeachments, the possibility remains that the Senate could acquit him again if he were to be impeached for a third time, with current odds indicating a 67% chance of Republicans maintaining Senate control.
