Trump Urges GOP to Impeach Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Over Supreme Court Criticism
President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to impeach House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) following Jeffries' criticism of the Supreme Court. Jeffries had labeled the Supreme Court as "illegitimate" in response to its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which invalidated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This decision has raised concerns about potential voter disenfranchisement on a large scale. Trump took to Truth Social to question why Jeffries, whom he referred to as a "Low IQ individual," has not faced impeachment for his remarks, contrasting it with his own impeachment over a phone call he deemed perfect.
Trump's call for Jeffries' impeachment comes amidst the GOP's preparations for the 2026 midterm elections, which are expected to be pivotal. Democrats have vowed to impeach Trump immediately if they regain control of the House of Representatives following the election. The political landscape is heating up as both parties strategize for the upcoming elections, with Trump's recent comments adding fuel to the already intense political climate.
