TRUMP, VENEZUELA, AND THE MIDTERM PIVOT TO THE ECONOMY. President Donald Trump made a revealing statement a few days ago when he addressed House Republicans at the Trump-Kennedy Center. “You’ve got to win the midterms,” he told the lawmakers. “Because if we don’t win the midterms … they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”

Does anyone doubt that Trump is right? If Democrats win the House of Representatives, they will be able to try one more time to remove him from office. Remember, they impeached Trump twice in his first term. The odds that they will succeed are infinitesimal, but the odds that they will try are very good. Maybe the impeachment could be for something the president has already done, or maybe it will be for something that hasn’t happened yet. But it is very difficult to imagine a Democratic House majority not impeaching Donald Trump.
