Aguilar rejects Trump impeachment efforts as method of resistance

Published April 29, 2025 4:43pm ET



Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA), one of the most powerful Democrats in the House, rejected his colleagues’ efforts to impeach President Donald Trump for the third time, opting for other means of resisting his second administration.

Aguilar, the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, downplayed impeachment talk as impractical to reporters Tuesday. His positioning comes as other Democrats have similarly called impeachment talk “stupid politics,” and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has refused to commit to such an option.
