Schumer Won't Rule Out Trump Impeachment If Democrats Regain Power

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declined to rule out the possibility of pursuing impeachment against President Donald Trump if Democrats regain control of Congress, stating it is too early to make such a decision and emphasizing a current focus on opposing Trump’s actions daily. Schumer echoed concerns raised by Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who argued Trump’s conduct exceeds previous impeachment standards, but stopped short of making an explicit commitment to new impeachment proceedings. Schumer asserted that President Trump is violating the rule of law in various ways, citing issues ranging from economic policy to defiance of court orders, but reiterated that any decisions regarding impeachment will depend on future political developments. The interviews highlighted internal Democratic debates about the party’s leadership, with Schumer signaling his intention to remain in his role despite calls from some colleagues to pass the torch to a younger generation.
