Overview
- Speaking at a House Republican retreat at the newly renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, President Trump said Democrats would "find a reason" to impeach him if Republicans lose the 2026 midterms.
- Trump pressed lawmakers to unify their message on healthcare, gender issues and election rules, casting the party’s agenda as the path to easing voter anger over living costs.
- He said he plans meetings with major health insurers and oil executives to push for lower insurance costs and expanded drilling, including in Venezuela.
- Democrats, including Rep. Maxine Waters, have amplified calls for oversight tied to the Venezuela operation, and party leaders are exploring a Senate war-powers vote this week.
- Control of Congress is at stake with all 435 House seats and one-third of the Senate on the ballot, and Republicans’ slim House edge means Democrats need only a handful of flips to open the door to investigations or impeachment.
