Overview
- House Democratic leaders said they have held no talks about impeaching President Donald Trump, with caucus chair Pete Aguilar saying it is not part of their discussions.
- Members such as Susie Lee and Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar said they want to focus on policy work and campaigning rather than stage impeachment votes.
- Democrats also pointed to the Senate math, noting conviction would require 67 votes that they do not expect to get, as Representative Robert Garcia said.
- A few lawmakers continue to file impeachment measures on their own, including Al Green and Shri Thaedar, even as party leadership resists a coordinated push.
- Calls from some voters cite Trump’s strikes on Iran, the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and handling of Epstein files, but leaders warn a new attempt could energize his base and repeat two House impeachments that ended in Senate acquittals.
