Trump To Be Impeached: 80% Chance Of Happening?
Some political narratives have gone further, claiming Democrats would also target Vice President JD Vance.
By: Tupaki Desk | 18 Jan 2026 10:11 PM ISTDonald Trump is turning out to be one of the most controversial and impulsive chief minister in the history of United States and this is coming at a cost. He has already accumulated a lot of negative reaction from the common public, and the repercussions are being felt now. Speculation around the 2026 US midterm elections has intensified after reports suggested that Democrats could pursue impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump if they regain control of Congress.
Some political narratives have gone further, claiming Democrats would also target Vice President JD Vance. However, there is currently no official or unified Democratic plan confirming such a move. The discussion largely stems from recent comments by Trump himself and warnings from Republican leaders, who argue that a Democratic victory would open the door to aggressive investigations and impeachment efforts.
Democratic leaders, on the other hand, have publicly focused their messaging on issues like inflation, healthcare, and governance, while keeping their stance on impeachment deliberately noncommittal.Adding fuel to the debate are prediction markets. According to Polymarket, Democrats are currently being given close to an 80 percent chance of winning the 2026 midterms and reclaiming the House of Representatives. These odds reflect trader sentiment and expectations, not confirmed political outcomes or policy decisions.
It is also important to note that impeachment is only one step in a long constitutional process. Even if the House were to approve impeachment articles, removal from office would require a two thirds majority vote in the Senate, a threshold that has historically been difficult to achieve. For now, talk of impeaching Trump and Vance remains political speculation rather than an established Democratic strategy, with the 2026 elections still a long way off.
