(DCNF)—Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna vowed during a MS NOW appearance that his party “will impeach” President Donald Trump if they take control of the House of Representatives.
Multiple congressional Democrats have tried to introduce impeachment resolutions against Trump since he began his second term on January 20, 2025, citing various reasons such as his approach to illegal immigration and the June 2025 attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Khanna told “The Briefing” guest host Ali Velshi that Trump is “threatening war crimes.”
“Absolutely, he should be impeached now,” Khanna told Velshi. “I mean, he’s taken us into a disastrous war, threatening war crimes in Iran in terms of the knocking out [power] plants and knocking out electricity, and the Democrats will impeach him once we take back the House and should impeach him for all the things he’s done and depending on the Senate, he may face conviction.”
Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran in a March 21 Truth Social post, demanding the regime stop attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz or else the United States would target the regime’s power plants. Trump later announced the strikes are on hold, citing potential talks with the regime.
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives impeached Trump twice during his first term in office, once over a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the other time over the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol building. The Senate acquitted Trump after both impeachment trials.
During a January town hall, Democratic New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman told attendees that the party would impeach Trump.
“And the only thing that’s gonna remove him is the 25th Amendment, but that would require – no, no, wait a minute – that would require the vice president and members of the cabinet to move against him, but he’s hired a bunch of lackeys, so they’re not going to execute the 25th Amendment,” Coleman told attendees. “But I tell you what, if you elect Democrats to the Senate and to the House, he’ll get impeached. And that’s one way of getting rid of him.”
