Chris Cuomo Implores Democrats To Resist Impeaching Trump

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo urged Democrats to refrain from impeaching President Donald Trump if they regain control of Congress after the 2026 midterm elections during a Tuesday episode of “The Chris Cuomo Project.”

Cuomo noted on his podcast that Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz reportedly told Trump that if Republicans lost the House and Senate, he would be “impeached every single week” for two years. The NewsNation host argued Democrats should not pursue impeachment because there would be no chance of removal and that the process would not benefit the nation.

“Did you hear what Ted Cruz said to him reportedly, allegedly? ‘You’re going to lose House seats and Senate seats and they’re going to impeach you every day.’ Now, I really hope that last part doesn’t happen,” Cuomo said. “Why? You don’t have the votes to remove him.”

“It is a political process — impeachment. Okay? … You do not have the votes you need to remove him. It will not happen,” he added. “So, why put us through it? And any high-minded idea you give us, I just point you to the last two and see if that helped the country in any way.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats should not prioritize impeaching Trump in the final two years of his presidency during a Dec. 15 episode of USA Today’s “The Excerpt.”
