US President Donald Trump warned Republicans that he could face impeachment if the party fails to win the midterm elections this year.
You got to win the midterms, because if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll find a reason to impeach me.
Donald Trump said.
Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 42% amid voter frustration over the rising cost of living and divisions within the Republican base.
Polling currently shows Democrats leading the midterms, with betting markets assigning high odds to a Democratic victory in the House.
All seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate will be contested in November.
Losing control of either chamber would significantly constrain the Republican agenda during the final two years of Trump’s term.
Republican lawmakers are seeking to pass key crypto legislation, including a market structure bill expected to return for a Senate vote next week.
Trump has previously been impeached twice, once in 2019 over Ukraine-related allegations and again in January 2021 following the US Capitol attack.
In both instances, the Senate acquitted Trump, preventing his removal from office.
Betting markets currently suggest Republicans have a strong chance of retaining control of the Senate.
Several Democrats have indicated Trump should be impeached over his crypto-related activities if their party controls the House.
Internal Republican divisions have also emerged over crypto policy, particularly around proposals to ban central bank digital currencies.
