‘Why Put Us Through It?’: Chris Cuomo Begs Dems Not To Impeach Trump Again

NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo called on Democrats to resist the temptation to impeach President Donald Trump if they win control of either the House or the Senate in the fast-approaching 2026 midterm elections.

Cuomo addressed the issue during Tuesday’s broadcast of “The Chris Cuomo Project,” saying that however likely it seemed that Democrats might come out ahead, it would be in the country’s best interest for them to show a little restraint.

“Where is he in terms of how he should be feeling about the midterms?” Cuomo asked in reference to the president — and then pantomimed something apparently intending to show nerves or panic.

“Did you hear what Ted Cruz said to him reportedly, allegedly?” Cuomo continued. “‘You’re going to lose House seats and Senate seats and they’re going to impeach you every day.’ Now, I really hope that last part doesn’t happen. Why? You don’t have the votes to remove him.”

“It is a political process — impeachment. Okay? Removal is a straight up and down vote, you do not have — not up and down, it’s not 50 plus one,” he said. “You do not have the votes you need to remove him. It will not happen. So, why put us through it? And any high-minded idea you give us, I just point you to the last two and see if that helped the country in any way.”

Cuomo is not the only one talking about impeachment as Democrats ramp up the fight for congressional control.

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has already filed articles of impeachment, as has Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) — and The Hill ran an opinion piece on Monday calling not only for impeachment, but for Democrats to pack the Supreme Court as well.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) walked a finer line on the issue during a recent interview, cautioning members of her party to make sure that they only proceeded on a possible impeachment if they had good reason to do so. Pelosi did not indicate what constituted a good reason.

“That’s not an incidental thing you say — ‘We’re going to [impeach].’ No, there has to be cause,” Pelosi said at the time. “There has to be reason.”
