, 6 news, a view

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday openly warned Republican lawmakers that his political future hinges on the party’s performance in the 2026 midterm elections, asserting that a loss of control in the US House of Representatives would inevitably lead to his impeachment by Democrats.

Speaking at a House Republican caucus retreat in Washington, Trump said Democrats would look for any pretext to initiate impeachment proceedings if the Grand Old Party failed to retain its slim House majority.

Stressing the stakes of the midterms, he told lawmakers that victory was essential to prevent what he described as politically motivated action against him.
