Overview
- Cruz made the comments on the Polymarket All In podcast after U.S. networks projected Democrats would win both the House and Senate following the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
- He predicted the House would pursue multiple impeachment efforts against President Trump and said he expected an impeachment of War Secretary Pete Hegseth during the lame‑duck period.
- Cruz warned Democrats would use subpoenas and committee power to target Trump, his family and senior administration officials.
- He argued a Democratic Senate majority could halt judicial confirmations and leave a Supreme Court vacancy open for an extended period if one arose.
- News coverage notes these are partisan forecasts rather than formal actions, and analysts say impeachment still requires a House vote and a two‑thirds Senate conviction, making removal unlikely even if investigations intensify.
