In January 2026, President Donald Trump told Republican legislators at a retreat in Washington, D.C., that he believes he will be impeached if the Republican party loses control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming November midterm elections. He stressed the importance of winning the midterms to maintain the Republican majority. All 435 House seats and 33 Senate positions are at stake in the election. Trump has been encouraging Republican-controlled states to pass new congressional district maps that favor the Republican party, a practice known as gerrymandering. Democrats have responded with their own gerrymandering in California.
