Pence Says Democratic House Is 'Very Likely' to Impeach Trump After 2026 Midterms

Pence’s remarks frame the 2026 House races as pivotal, with impeachment hinging on a Democratic majority, with conviction requiring a two‑thirds Senate vote.

Overview

  • In a CNN interview, Mike Pence said Democrats would be very likely to impeach President Trump if they retake the House in 2026.
  • Pence pointed to the administration’s late‑night operation to arrest Nicolás Maduro and the missed deadline on releasing Jeffrey Epstein files as issues intensifying oversight pressure.
  • Trump recently told supporters he expects Democrats would find a reason to impeach him if Republicans lose the midterms.
  • Pence referenced Trump’s first impeachment to argue Democrats would pursue proceedings if they control the House.
  • Both articles note that any impeachment would face long odds of removal because conviction requires a two‑thirds vote in the Senate.
