Overview

• Sen. Jon Ossoff stated that President Trump’s actions, including selling access via a memecoin and alleged authoritarian impulses, exceed previous impeachment standards.
• Ossoff emphasized that impeachment is currently unfeasible due to Republican control of the House, making Democratic success in the midterms essential for advancing such efforts.
• The National Republican Senatorial Committee condemned Ossoff’s remarks, labeling them ‘disgusting’ and accusing him of seeking to overturn Georgia voters’ will.
• Ossoff is the first Senate Democrat during Trump’s second term to publicly call for his impeachment, highlighting his politically vulnerable position in a state Trump carried in 2024.
• Trump’s prior impeachments during his first term ended in Senate acquittals, and any future impeachment would require a Democratic majority in the House and two-thirds Senate support.
