Jeffries says he may pursue Trump impeachment if Democrats win House

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D‑NY) said on Sunday that he has not ruled out pursuing impeachment of former President Donald Trump if Democrats regain control of the House in November. Speaking with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week,” Jeffries responded to a question about the possibility of an impeachment inquiry, stating, “No, we haven’t ruled anything in and we haven’t ruled anything out in terms of impeachment.”

The comment comes as the 2024 election cycle intensifies and Democrats aim to flip the chamber after a narrow Republican majority last year. Jeffries’ remarks signal that the leadership is preparing for the possibility of a new agenda that could include a formal investigation into Trump’s conduct, a move that would require a House majority to advance. The timing of the statement also reflects ongoing discussions within the party about how best to address the former president’s legal and political challenges.

While the House remains under Republican control, the prospect of a Democratic majority has prompted leaders to outline potential priorities, with impeachment being one of several issues under consideration. The decision on whether to pursue such a process will ultimately hinge on the electoral outcome and the composition of the House following the November vote.
