Trump Warns of Impeachment Risk as Midterm Polls Turn Against Him
has warned that he could face impeachment if Republicans fail to secure victories in the upcoming midterm elections, raising fresh concerns across political and financial circles.
Speaking at the House of Representatives, Trump stressed the importance of a Republican win later this year, arguing that losing control of Congress would expose his administration to renewed political attacks.
“You’ve got to win the midterms,” Trump said, pointing to the implications of a potential loss. “If we don’t win the midterms, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll be impeached.”
While impeachment proceedings can be initiated in the House, removing a sitting president requires a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate, a high bar that has historically proven hard to reach.
However, sentiment appears to be shifting against the president. Polling data and prediction markets show growing momentum for Democrats. According to Polymarket, Democrats currently hold an 80 percent chance of taking control, while The New York Times that Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 42 percent, further fragileening his political standing.
Implications for the Crypto Industry
The political risk carries significant implications for the cryptocurrency sector. Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto president and has delivered several policies that accelerated blockchain adoption and regulatory clarity.
His administration marked a sharp departure from the Biden era, which saw aggressive enforcement actions against crypto firms, particularly under the Securities and platform Commission led by former chair Gary Gensler.
Since returning to office, Trump has openly supported blockchain innovation across the United States, including backing the , which provides a regulatory framework for stablecoin usage.
At the state level, momentum has also grown around Strategic BTC Reserve (SBR) bills. Arizona, New Hampshire, and Texas have moved to , a shift widely viewed as aligned with Trump’s pro-BTC posture.
Trump has also promoted stablecoins while halting research into the creation of a United States central bank digital currency, signaling resistance to a government-controlled digital dollar.
Market Impact and Investor Sentiment
Any threat to Trump’s presidency could reverse the optimism that followed his election victory in November 2024. later than that win, BTC and major altcoins rallied sharply. BTC gained 63 percent between November 2024 and January 2025, reaching a then all-time high of $109,588.
Analysts warn that renewed political uncertainty could fragileen investor confidence and sluggish momentum around blockchain innovation. With BTC currently trading near $93,000, a deterioration in sentiment could push the asset toward the $83,000 level, a price last viewn in December 2025.
A loss of Trump’s influence could also fragileen the push for pro-crypto legislation, placing digital assets at regulatory risk once again.
Trump is no stranger to impeachment proceedings, which may explain his public concern. During his first term, he was impeached twice, in 2019 and again in 2021. In both cases, he was acquitted and remained in office.
Despite current polling challenges, Polymarket data still places the odds at 67 percent that Republicans will retain power, suggesting the political landscape remains fluid as the midterm elections approach.
