Steve Bannon Warns of Potential Third Donald Trump Impeachment

Democrats will move to impeach President-elect Donald Trump for a third time if they have control of the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2026 midterm election, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon warned on Friday.

Trump was elected to a second term in a decisive victory against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, earlier this week. While Republicans also took control of the U.S. Senate, the status of the House remains up in the air, although the GOP currently looks favored to retain its grip on the chamber.

However, Democrats may have a better chance of capturing control of the House in the 2026 midterms even if they come up short this year. The party that controls the presidency typically loses House seats in midterm elections and the chamber is all but certain to be closely divided in 2026.

During his first stint in the White House, Trump was twice impeached by the Democrat-controlled House, the first time in 2019 over his alleged attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate then-candidate Joe Biden and the second in January 2021 over his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was acquitted by the Senate in both cases.

Bannon, who served as White House chief strategist in the early months of the first Trump administration, warned during an episode of his War Room podcast on Friday that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, would lead the charge to another Trump impeachment if House control flips during the midterms.

"Hakeem Jeffries could be, will be, the speaker of the House in two years," Bannon said. "And the first thing he will do in the early days of 2027 is move to impeach Donald Trump. Trust me. They're gonna put $10 billion in back of him. They have nobody else."

He continued: "...Hakeem Jeffries is just sitting there, right? He's ready to go. The [billionaire Democratic donor] Reid Hoffmans of the world are gonna put $10 billion in back of him to win a couple of seats, a handful of seats, in places that are kind of Democratic anyway."

I have no doubt they'll do this, which is why the RNC needs to be gearing up now - without delay - for the midterm elections.

How about today? Democrats are actively trying to steal house seats in California.

Majority party  almost always loses seats during the midterms.  2027-2028 are going to be roughl

It only highlights the fact that the GOP has a very narrow window to undo the damage that has been done going back more than a generation, and to restore the republic on a foundation that will be very difficult for the communists to overcome. There are so many fronts: border, education, entitlements, voting rights, foreign entanglements, etc. They all need to be addressed in the first year.

Steve Bannon for House Speaker.

There you go! Excellent choice.

It looks like Jefferies is going to be Speaker unless we pick up a couple of seats in Ca!

Statistically yes, but I think that may change if people see the changes happen that they voted for.

Just thinking here....DeSantis' term will be up at that time. I'm hoping he'll run for a seat in Congress.

Precisely. That opportunity was missed in Trump's first term, let's hope the GOP has learned something, too.

One does not need an Abacus to calculate this happening.

Reality bites:
Next-to-none of this will get done at the Congressional level,
Unless...
The GOP Senate finds the intestinal fortitude to nuke the filibuster.

Otherwise...
Furgheddaboutit.
