US President Donald Trump told House Republicans that Democrats would impeach him if Republicans lose the US midterms 2026 in November, according to Cointelegraph.
He tied that risk to control of Congress.
“You got to win the midterms, because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be — I mean — they’ll find a reason to impeach me,”
Trump said in a Tuesday speech.
“I’ll get impeached.”
The report said Trump’s approval rating slid to 42%. Voters cited the rising cost of living, the report added. It also said Republicans split over his handling of the Epstein files.
Polymarket Numbers and November Stakes Put Trump Impeachment in Focus
Polls cited in the report put Democrats ahead for the midterms. In addition, Polymarket bettors put nearly 79% odds on Democrats winning the House this year, according to the report.
The US midterms 2026 include all House seats and one third of the Senate. That map means a swing in either chamber can change what moves through Congress. It also changes what the House can start.
A House majority can open impeachment steps. However, the Senate runs the trial and decides conviction.
The report said Polymarket odds put a 67% chance on Republicans keeping the Senate.
Crypto Market Structure Bill Faces Pressure From Trump Impeachment Talk
The report linked the election fight to a key Republican goal, the crypto market structure bill. That bill would set how federal rules apply to crypto markets and trading, the report said.
Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott said the crypto market structure bill was headed for another vote on Thursday next week, according to the report. A loss of House or Senate control can slow that work.
The report said Democrats have also raised concerns about Trump’s crypto activity.
It named Representative Sean Casten and Senator Jon Ossoff as Democrats who signaled support for impeachment tied to Trump’s crypto dealings.
Trump Memecoin Dinner and CBDC Ban Fight Add Another Layer
The report said Trump hosted a private dinner for top holders of his Trump memecoin. That event became part of the criticism from some Democrats, according to the report.
The report also said Trump faced resistance inside his own party on crypto bills. A conservative bloc of Republicans demanded a CBDC ban as a condition for moving a slate of crypto legislation.
A deal later formed to attach a CBDC ban to a must pass defense bill, the report said. That deal aimed to unlock support for bills that included the GENIUS Act, according to the report.
Republican leaders then passed the defense funding bill without the CBDC ban, the report said. That decision angered some Republicans and added tension inside the party while the US midterms 2026 approach.
Trump Impeachment History Returns as Midterms Tighten the Calendar
Trump has faced impeachment twice before, the report noted. The first impeachment came in 2019, with charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress linked to alleged pressure on Ukraine.
The second impeachment came in mid January 2021, days before Trump left office. That case charged inciting an insurrection after the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack.
In both cases, the Senate acquitted Trump, the report said. Now, Trump’s new warning ties the next phase of his agenda, including the crypto market structure bill, to the outcome of the US midterms 2026 in November.
