Overview
- Speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Johnson told attendees a Democratic House in 2026 would move to impeach President Trump and urged supporters to prevent a Republican loss.
- House Democrats have already probed the issue this year, with Representative Al Green filing articles of impeachment and a recent vote showing substantial Democratic opposition to tabling his resolution as party leaders counseled a fuller process.
- Even if the House impeaches, removal in the Senate would be unlikely because conviction requires a two-thirds vote, and Trump was twice acquitted in prior Senate trials.
- Coverage notes Republican vulnerabilities, including low presidential approval ratings and intraparty infighting, that have improved Democrats’ chances to retake the chamber in 2026.
- Johnson also teased advancing Representative Andy Biggs’s proposal to place a statue of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk in the Capitol as part of his effort to rally conservatives.
