Could President Donald Trump face another impeachment battle if the political winds shift in Washington?

House Speaker Mike Johnson has sounded the alarm, warning that a Republican loss of the House majority in the 2026 midterm elections could pave the way for Democrats to push for Trump’s impeachment, as Newsweek reports.

Speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, Johnson didn’t mince words about the stakes. His cautionary tale paints a picture of a Democrat-controlled House itching to target Trump rather than tackle pressing national concerns. It’s a scenario that feels like déjà vu for conservatives who have watched this playbook before.

Johnson Warns of Partisan Chaos Ahead

“If we lose the House majority, the radical left, as you’ve already heard, is going to impeach President Trump. They’re going to create absolute chaos,” Johnson declared at AmericaFest. If that’s not a rallying cry for Republican voters, what is?

Adding fuel to the fire, Kiersten Pels from the Republican National Committee told Newsweek that Democrats seem more obsessed with political vendettas than policy solutions. Her take is a sharp reminder that partisan gridlock could drown out the real issues Americans care about, like safer communities and affordable living.

Trump’s history with impeachment adds context to these warnings. He faced charges in 2019 and again in 2021, only to be acquitted by the Senate both times. For many on the right, this feels less like accountability and more like a partisan witch hunt.

Recent Impeachment Attempt Falls Flat

Just earlier this month, Rep. Al Green took a swing at Trump by filing articles of impeachment, accusing him of abusing presidential power and undermining judicial independence. It’s the kind of accusation that gets headlines but often lacks the substance to stick.

The House quickly tabled Green’s motion, with 214 Republican members voting to shelve it. On the Democrat side, 140 opposed tabling, 23 supported it, and 47 opted for a noncommittal “present” vote. Talk about a divided room.

Key House Democrats argued that impeachment should be a serious process, not a snap decision. They pointed out the absence of a thorough investigation, detailed evidence, or public hearings. For once, a call for due process seems reasonable, even if their motives might raise eyebrows among conservatives.

Senate Hurdle Remains a Tall Order

Even if Democrats were to reclaim the House in 2026 and vote to impeach, the Senate remains a formidable barrier. Removal requires a two-thirds majority, a threshold that’s historically been near-impossible to cross in polarized times. Trump’s prior acquittals only underscore this reality.

For Republican supporters, this Senate safeguard is a silver lining. It’s a constitutional check that frustrates progressive agendas and ensures no president is ousted on a whim. Still, the threat of impeachment looms as a distraction from governing.

Johnson’s broader point at AmericaFest resonates with those weary of endless political theater. “Everything is on the line in the midterms in 2026, and we have much more to do,” he urged. It’s a call to action for conservatives to hold the line against what they see as obstructionist tactics.

Midterm Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

The 2026 midterms are shaping up to be a battleground for the soul of Washington. Losing the House could mean not just impeachment proceedings but a halt to any meaningful conservative agenda. That’s a risk many on the right aren’t willing to take.

For now, the impeachment chatter is just that -- talk. But with figures like Johnson waving the red flag, it’s clear Republicans are gearing up for a fight.

The question is whether voters will heed the warning or let complacency hand Democrats the gavel.
