Texas Democrat, Faced With Losing His District, Vows Trump Will Be Impeached Again

Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who faces the prospect of losing his seat in a GOP-led redistricting effort, is vowing that President Donald Trump will be impeached again.

“I promise you, this president is going to — he’s gonna be brought down,” Green declared on Monday. “He’s going to be brought down. He has to be brought down and I don’t mean physically. I’m talking about politically. We will bring him down. He will be impeached again.”

Green made the comments during a press conference in Illinois, where Democratic Texas state lawmakers fled over the weekend to deny the quorum needed to advance a Republican redistricting proposal.

As The Daily Wire previously reported, the proposed map would shift Green’s Ninth Congressional District eastward into territory Trump carried by 15 points. Meanwhile, the 9th District’s current constituency would be packed into the vacant Democratic-held 18th District, according to Politico.

Trump has been pushing Texas and other states to draw their congressional maps with the expectation that Republicans would gain seats. In retaliation, Democrats have rallied for mid-decade redistricting in blue states. Shifting lines could give either party an edge in the 2026 midterm elections.

During his first term, Trump was impeached twice when the Democrats controlled the House. One inquiry dealt with Ukraine, and the other with January 6. Both efforts ended in acquittal by a GOP-led Senate.

The Democrats are currently powerless to secure a new impeachment inquiry because Republicans control both chambers of Congress. But that has not stopped Green, who has accused Trump of “dastardly deeds” and sought to get Trump impeached again multiple times.

Most recently, in June, he put forward an impeachment resolution over Trump ordering strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities without the consent of Congress. It was defeated, with the help of Democrats, in a 344-79 vote. That followed the House censuring Green in a bipartisan fashion for his outburst during Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress in March.

The Wall Street Journal just released a poll that found the popularity of the Democratic Party has plunged to its lowest level in at least 35 years. However, if they manage to win back control of the lower chamber, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) indicated last month that impeachment could make a comeback.

“There will be plenty of time, when [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairwoman] Suzan DelBene guides us to the majority, for us to exercise oversight where we can ask some very difficult questions [about] the policies that the administration is going currently, but right now that isn’t our focus,” Aguilar said.
