Democratic Effort to Impeach Trump Falters as Co-Sponsors Withdraw

Representative Shri Thanedar’s impeachment resolution loses nearly all support from Democrats, with party leadership deeming the effort unfeasible under Republican control.

Overview

  • Rep. Shri Thanedar introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Trump, citing constitutional violations and abuses of power.
  • Three Democratic co-sponsors—Reps. Kweisi Mfume, Robin Kelly, and Jerry Nadler—formally withdrew their support after learning the resolution lacked leadership approval.
  • House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar publicly rejected impeachment as a viable strategy, citing Republican majorities in Congress as an insurmountable obstacle.
  • President Trump dismissed the impeachment attempt during a rally, mocking Thanedar and calling the effort baseless.
  • Thanedar remains committed to the resolution, joined only by Rep. Jan Schakowsky, while Democratic leaders shift focus to alternative strategies.
