Trump Doubts Democrats Will Impeach Him, Says It Would 'Destroy' Their Party

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he does not believe the new Democratic majority in Congress will pursue impeachment against him, arguing such a move would "destroy" the Democratic Party. Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House, questioning the rationale for impeachment and citing the nation's success. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, a likely candidate for House Speaker, has not committed to launching impeachment proceedings, previously stating it is not an immediate priority. Democrats won control of both congressional chambers in the recent election. The House previously approved two articles of impeachment against Trump during his first term, but the Senate did not convict him. Jeffries was part of the team that argued the first impeachment case in 2020.
