Is Trump facing impeachment? Some longshot initiatives have been started

Trump is not currently facing impeachment in 2025 or 2026. Still, the threat lingers. Democratic lawmakers including Shri Thanedar and Al Green have introduced impeachment resolutions accusing Trump of abusing power and undermining democratic norms. With Republicans holding the House, however, those measures function largely as signals rather than mechanisms—statements of intent rather than paths to removal.

Recent votes to table impeachment resolutions underscore that reality. Some Democrats have joined Republicans in sidelining the efforts, revealing an internal divide between moral urgency and strategic caution. For party leaders, the calculation is clear: aggressive impeachment pushes could energize Trump’s base, dominate headlines, and complicate broader electoral goals.
