No Surprise: Democrats Plot and Scheme to Impeach Trump on "Day One" If the American People Are Insane Enough to Give Them Control of Congress

Democrat communications shop and Eric Swalwell cover-up agency Axios:

A cohort of resistance-minded House Democrats is pushing their colleagues to begin building the case against President Trump now in anticipation of a Day 1 impeachment vote if they retake the House.

Why it matters: The mere existence of this movement demonstrates just how much pressure lawmakers who have not yet gotten on board with impeachment will face in January of 2027.

"This is something that I keep saying to our leadership ... we need to have a very concrete, coordinated strategy," Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) told Axios.

The Illinois Democrat said the party should "build up the case so that when we are in power in January, we've created the conditions ... we've done the fact-checking, we've done the shadow hearings, everything we need to be able to to impeach [Trump]."

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) told Axios that if Democrats recapture the House "the push for impeachment is going to be overwhelming."

Driving the news: A Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll released Tuesday found that 55% of U.S. adults surveyed said the House should vote to impeach Trump, while just 37% oppose it.

"That net +18 verdict," Strength In Numbers author G. Elliott Morris wrote, "puts Trump in the neighborhood of the numbers Richard Nixon saw at the peak of the Watergate scandal in August 1974."

Sure. Axios, of course, which covers up for Democrats like Joe Biden and Eric Swalwell, fails to note that this polling outfit has a strong Democrat bias. Google AI:

Political Context: The poll often finds results where Democrats lead on generic ballots (e.g., +6 to +8 in mid-2025/2026) and where President Trump's approval is relatively low (often in the mid-30s to low-40s).

...

Independent, But Not Necessarily "Neutral": While aiming for objective data, the analysis often highlights areas where public opinion diverges from conservative policies (e.g., high support for ACA subsidies, raising taxes on corporations). It also notes that independent voters are heavily skewed away from Republicans (-30 net rating in some reports), which informs its findings

Again: Sure.

Morris cited Axios' reporting that more than 85 House and Senate Democrats called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment to the Constitution following his threat to destroy Iran's civilization earlier this month.

The big picture: In the immediate aftermath of the 2024 election, Democrats didn't even want to hear the word impeachment.

"People ridiculed me," said Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), who was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump last year.
When Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) forced a vote on impeaching Trump last June, 128 Democrats voted with Republicans to quash the effort while just 78 voted to advance it.

Things have changed drastically. When Green forced another vote to impeach Trump last December, his support went from 78 Democrats to 140.

...

Said Thanedar: "We have a case -- a very strong case -- so we should really work on it now."

Yes, but: Just because a member supports impeachment when asked -- or when forced to go on the record in a House vote -- doesn't mean they think it should be a policy priority for their party.

Yeah, this is just other Democrats attempting to tamp down talk of impeachment for fear of energizing Trump supporters. It's a lie. They will in fact impeach Trump on day one, or at the latest, by the end of month one.

This will probably benefit us. Trump's voters don't vote unless Trump himself is on the ballot, which is why we either lose or gas out in the midterms.

But Democrats just put Trump on the ballot for the midterms.
