are they impeaching donald trump

Right now, Donald Trump is not in the middle of a formal impeachment process, but there is very active talk and organizing around trying to impeach him again.

What is actually happening?

  • Progressive Democrats and some advocacy groups are again calling for Trump’s impeachment over his conduct in his current term, including his use of executive power, foreign policy decisions, and alleged abuses of power.
  • Several House Democrats have already introduced or announced impeachment resolutions against Trump in the current Congress, but these are proposals , not a completed impeachment.
  • Republican leadership still controls the House with a narrow majority, which makes it unlikely in the short term that impeachment articles will advance to a full, successful impeachment vote.

Key facts about “are they impeaching Donald Trump”

  • There have been multiple impeachment efforts against Trump: he was impeached twice in his first term (2019 and 2021) and acquitted both times in the Senate.
  • In this term, Democrats outside the majority have introduced fresh articles of impeachment (for example, H.Res.353 and later efforts), but these have not yet resulted in the House formally impeaching him again.
  • Commentators and party leaders describe a “rising clamor” in 2026 for impeachment, especially after controversies over foreign military actions and alleged weaponization of the Justice Department, but also note that leadership is cautious and impeachment is not currently their top legislative priority.

Why people are asking this now

  • Trump himself has said that if Republicans lose control of Congress in the upcoming midterms, opponents would “find a reason to impeach” him, which helped spark more public discussion and media coverage around the possibility.
  • Activist groups are running campaigns and petitions calling for Congress to “impeach Trump again,” often tying their demands to concerns about constitutional checks and balances, civil liberties, and alleged abuses of presidential power.

What to watch going forward

  • Control of the House: If Democrats gain a majority in the next midterm elections, the chances of impeachment proceedings being opened increase significantly, because the majority controls which resolutions move forward.
  • Formal steps: For Trump to be “officially” impeached again, House leadership would need to allow articles of impeachment to proceed through committee or directly to the floor, followed by a majority vote to impeach, and then a trial in the Senate.

At this moment, the reality is: impeachment is being pushed , talked about , and organized for , but it is not an active, completed impeachment process in Congress right now.
