Trump Fears Impeachment: Midterm Elections Crucial for His Presidency

  • President Trump expressed fear of impeachment if Republicans lose control of Congress in the November midterm elections.
  • His anxiety stems from the controversial US operation in Venezuela, which lawmakers claim blindsided Congress and violated laws.
  • Democrats are gaining momentum, viewing midterms as a chance to launch impeachment proceedings, similar to 2018.
  • Trump has been impeached twice before by the House, but acquitted by the Senate on both occasions.
  • Domestic issues like inflation and rising living costs, along with a slipping approval rating, add pressure ahead of midterms.

Why It Matters: Trump's presidency faces a critical test as midterm elections could pave the way for a third impeachment attempt.
