Summary
Steve Scalise said Democrats would move to impeach President Donald Trump immediately if they capture the House in November, making the warning a central Republican midterm message.
His argument points to progressive lawmakers who have already filed multiple impeachment resolutions against Trump and Cabinet officials, even though Democratic leaders have not publicly backed a new impeachment push.
Scalise said a recent wave of socialist primary upsets shows the party's left wing is gaining control, and he cast Republican incumbents as better aligned with voters on affordability and border security.
He also argued Republicans have pickup opportunities in states including Maine, Texas, Ohio and Florida, as the party tries to turn Democratic infighting into a campaign advantage.
