Democrats weigh another Trump impeachment push after midterm wins

Democrats gained 25 House and seven Senate seats in Tuesday's midterms, securing majorities in both chambers and leaving President Donald Trump politically vulnerable to renewed congressional investigations. The newly empowered opposition is expected to launch probes into Trump and his inner circle, though party leaders have not committed to a third impeachment. Betting markets suggest roughly 77-80 percent odds of another attempt, but some Democrats oppose the move, citing the near-impossible two-thirds Senate threshold for conviction. Democrats may instead target Cabinet officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who faces impeachment articles and direct threats from incoming Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. Some strategists warn impeachment could rally Trump's fractured base and fuel his victimization narrative.
