House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) left the door open when asked by NBC News’s Kristen Welker if Democrats planned to impeach President Donald Trump if they win the majority in the midterms.

“This time around, because of our over-performance in 2024, with candidates who are focused on the economy, we only need to flip a handful of seats,” Jeffries said about the Democrats’ strategy. “And we will with a focus on driving down the high cost of living, fixing our broken health care system, getting ICE under control, ending this reckless and costly war of choice in the Middle East, and cleaning up corruption.”

Welker read a quote from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who claimed the country is “past the threshold” for impeaching Trump.“Do you agree if Democrats take back the House, will you move to impeach President Trump?” Welker asked Jeffries.

“We haven’t ruled anything in or ruled anything out in terms of of accountability,” Jeffries said, continuing:

What we have said is that our focus is going to be to make life more affordable for the American people. We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to restore the American dream, which a lot of people understandably have concluded is broken right now.

1. Welker is back to her nonsense.

With all that is happening, that can’t be high on the list of questions I would be asking. Jeffries did a good job steering to what is important.

2. "because of our over-performance in 2024"

There was over-performance in 2024?

[relogic]

3. The foundational evidentiary ground

for impeaching this corrupt man has been plowed deep through 2 impeachments. Please demonstrate how a third (dubiously executed) time consuming tedious process accomplishes anything other than-“We told you so.”

4. Well for one thing, Moscow Mitch is in the hospital as of today

I don't know what's going on with him, but I do know that he won't be back in Washington past December of this year. Maybe ... if his health is failing, he'll leave sooner? I don't know. McConnell was the main reason those first 2 impeachments failed to get a conviction. What happens after he's gone? That's a valid question.

I do get disgusted with all the grandstanding that's involved in the impeachment process. However like most of us here, I feel that there has to be a way to make Chump finally face his failures and admit his lies and corruption, after which he gets run out of town on a rail.

5. All I see

is a traitorous party that will adamantly refuse to convict and remove him from office. They are the problem. The country currently is in the grip of a coup for all intents and purposes. Upcoming midterms may “overachieve” as Jeffries puts it, but the government is essentially stacked too high with bought courts, legislators and executives.

[Torchlight]

7. I think he's simply refusing to take it off the table

rather than an assertion of agenda. No good reason on the planet to explicitly inform opposition of what one absolutely will or will not do in any given siutation.

[Martin Eden]

6. Here's a better question:

Has President Trump committed the kind of high crimes and misdemeanors for which America's Founders deemed it necessary to include impeachment in the US Constitution?

8. Thank you. It is their JOB to do this.
