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."

1. Impeachments have about as much bite as angrily worded emails. nt

[dutch777]

6. Especially with a Repug controlled Senate. Big waste of time although Dems may not have much else to do

[Walleye]

2. Poor James Comer, he wanted so badly to impeach Biden

[BumRushDaShow]

3. He might still try

The "2nd impeachment" of 45 happened after he was out of office.

[ancianita]

22. Yep, but ours was fact based. This one is impeachment theater, the RW's ongoing attempt to rewrite/erase history.

We'll need the national archives protected more than ever.

[BumRushDaShow]

24. I wouldn't expect them to care about "facts"

just "owning the libs".

They had their "dry run" rehearsal with their attempt to impeach Mayorkas.

[ancianita]

28. Agree. What they do care about is rewriting the history of this Democratic administration.

And they want it in the Congressional Record.

[dutch777]

7. He just wanted to hamstring things and make smoke so people would be suspicious of Joe

I doubt once the DOJ finishes what is already in place on Hunter Biden, we will never hear his name again. Not worth Repug time now. I do wish Biden as a giant middle finger to Repugs on way out the door would pardon Hunter. He is too good a man I suppose but I wouldn't fault him. Trump has done far worse and will again.

[Escurumbele]

4. Translation: Steve Bannon predicts more crimes from trump.

[surfered]

5. Steve Bannon is a major loon . There's not one Republican in the House or Senate to oppose Trump

They all retired or lost in the primaries. Those remaining had DJT tattooed on their butts.

[doc03]

8. Impeachment did nothing but increase his popularity. MAGAs and many other Americans

that don't follow these things like us thought Trump wasn't treated fair. Two impeachments and all the court cases
led by black prosecutors backfired. Democrats over played their hand like the Republicans did with
Clinton. That pos Garland screwed over Hunter Biden and sat on his hands with Trump not wanting to appear
political. Biden should have fired Garland years ago and pardoned Hunter already.

[Shermann]

11. The best way to get away with murder is to commit more of it.

And when you kill a man you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all... ooh, oh, you're a God!

- Dave Mustaine

[Wuddles440]

12. I'm actually disgusted...

that he's refusing to pardon Hunter, and it's even more appalling considering those who have done much worse have received such consideration. This man and his family have suffered enough for his transgressions - it's time for them to have some peace in their lives.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Democrats overplayed their hand? It was their job to bring impeachment charges

and the judicial system brought the rest.

[doc03]

33. That is the perception of the average voter

that doesn't follow the news or are brainwashed by Faux. I heard people say many times that "they" never gave him a chance. By "they" I guess that is what they call the deep state. Someone I never thought to be a MAGA said "they" tried to kill Trump twice.

[yardwork]

21. I don't think Democrats overplayed their hand.

Those court cases were based on real crimes. Which Trump crime would you have ignored?

[bucolic_frolic]

9. I understand the names of these folks to be

dementia and CHF

[patricia92243]

10. Impeachment a piece of paper, unless he is removed from office - which

is not going to happen.

[R Merm]

13. Vance will do away with trump long before the 2026 election.

[meow2u3]

18. You might have a point

Trump is more likely to be removed via the 25th Amendment due to his advanced dementia--he doesn't know which way is up and needs memory care--than he would via impeachment in the Houe and conviction in the Senate.

[FakeNoose]

30. Article 25, I'm sure they're already making a plan

That's the one Mike Pence wouldn't touch in 2016, when it would have done the most good for our country.

[NewJeffCT]

37. I think Trump will mostly be a figurehead that they drag out there

when a statement is needed to be made. He'll mostly tweet, watch TV, golf (while able to physically) and order his people to get revenge on whoever pissed him off that day.

Vance, Bannon, Miller and a few others will be running the government behind the scenes from Day 1 - no need to piss off the loonies in the cult if they can just steer him however they want.

[travelingthrulife]

14. Why? What's the plan Steve. How are you going to crime against us now?

All of these criminals running wild again.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. "Why? What's the plan Steve. How are you going to crime against us now?"

He's got a date with Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg and NY AG Tish James, scheduled for next month, on state fraud charges for his "We Build The Wall" criminal enterprise.

His compatriots either plead out or were convicted, and are serving between 3 - 5 years in federal prison. He escaped the federal trial for that when 45 pardoned him before the trial started. But there is no pardon for STATE charges.

[travelingthrulife]

17. I'll believe it when it happens

n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

19. The ONLY entity to get through a trial and actual criminal CONVICTION of the top boss of these criminals

HAS BEEN D.A. Alvin Bragg and we are just waiting on Judge Merchan to do the damn sentence, even if it's something as ridiculous as a fine and probation. It may end up being some kind of "suspended sentence" at this point.

In any case, the NY prosecutors have had some kind of success, albeit what they are doing now should have happened in that state DECADES ago under their predecessors who obviously ignored the criminality.

[Baitball Blogger]

20. Stop teasing us like that Bannon!

He's obviously trying to keep their supporters stoked.

[Martin68]

23. If Trump does what he promised to do, there will inevitably be another impeachment if Democrats have the House.

It will go nowhere because the Publicans have the Senate.

[JohnSJ]

25. f**k that smelly who doesn't take a shower or shave asshole.

[Ocelot II]

26. Why bother? There's no chance for conviction in the Senate.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Doesn't Bannon need more jail time or something?

He's another hateful man like his orange boss.

[Turbineguy]

29. I think trump will already be gone by then.

He's just too lazy and incompetent to fulfill the Project 2025 requirements.

He's protected from going to jail and he'll have his grifts. The Big Boys will not benefit from a destroyed country.

[Autumn]

31. That would be a dumb move by the Democrats. It would be a complete waste of time.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Bannon is trying to gin up some support

before his NY state fraud trial begins a month from today - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/steve-bannons-border-wall-fraud-trial-set-december-rcna163558

[Dulcinea]

34. Third time's a charm?

It would be a waste of time. The Democratic (I hope) House has better things to do.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. Isn't this jerk off supposed to be in court again for fraud with "Build the Wall" funds that went his way??

[BumRushDaShow]

36. One month from today - December 9th!

38. Some of MSM indicated he would go from prison to court. So glad he'll have a good Thanksgiving. That's sweet....
