Calls for impeaching President Donald Trump are mounting as are his own fears of getting impeached again if Republicans lose the midterms. Here’s what Trump said about canceling midterms and nationalized voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Odds for a third impeachment of Trump continue to grow in the wake of an additional Epstein files release and his most recent social media re-post of former president Barack Obama and his wife depicted as apes, which Congressman Al Green condemned as “raw, rank racism” by the president.

Green is one of several lawmakers to lead the charge and sponsored multiple house resolutions to get Trump impeached last year.

Representative Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas said, during a recent event, that she would support impeachment proceedings against Trump, beginning with his use of tariffs, “I think that there is more than enough to impeach Donald Trump,” she said, “Ultimately, do I think we should go through the formal process? Absolutely.”

Crockett’s comments came days after Sen. Ed Markey also called for Trump to be removed in a social media post on Jan. 19. “Invoke the 25th Amendment” attached to image of a New York Times article that referenced the president’s efforts to take over Greenland.

Non-partisan group, Blackout The System, also continues to circulate a petition to impeach Trump over “greed, corruption, and a lack of accountability in leadership,” among other accusations on Change.org. It has collected over 167,000 signatures to date.

The president was impeached twice during his first term, the first in 2019 over dealings with Ukraine and the second at the end of his term over accusations of him inciting the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. He was acquitted in the Senate both times.

Trump continues to highlight the importance of this year’s midterms, where all seats in the House and 35 seats in the Senate are up for election. Republicans maintain a slight majority in both chambers of Congress at this time, albeit midterm cycles don’t typically favor the sitting president’s party.

Here’s what the president said about nationalized elections and cancelling midterms amid fears of getting impeached again, and what to know about the 2026 Midterm Elections.

Is Trump getting impeached again? Trump 2026 impeachment odds
While Trump is not currently being impeached, there are discussions and proposed House resolutions for a third impeachment effort introduced, such as the most recent H. Res. 939 on Dec. 10, 2025. It was tabled by a vote of 237-140.

Impeachment requires a majority vote in the House to approve charges against a government official for treason, bribery or other serious abuse of power or misconduct, and then a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict and remove the official from office.

A third impeachment would likely face significant political barriers due to the current Republican-controlled House and Senate.

According to the Polymarket, betting odds show a 13% chance that Trump will be impeached by end of 2026. Meanwhile Kalshi betting odds show a 7% chance he’ll be impeached by Jun. 1, 2026; 14% chance by Jan. 1, 2027 and 65% chance by Jan. 1, 2028.

What did Trump say about nationalized voting?
Trump said “The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over, we should take over the voting … in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting” during a podcast interview on Feb. 2, however he did not explain or provide details on how he wanted the Republicans to nationalize the voting.

Trump’s comments came days after the FBI searched and seized original 2020 voting records from an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, related to a Justice Department effort searching for alleged voter fraud in the county, according to officials. It was a swing state that went blue in 2020, helping Joe Biden secure the presidential win.

“We have states that are so crooked and they’re counting votes. We have states that I won, that show I didn’t win,” Trump said. “Now you’re going to see something in Georgia where they were able to get with a court order, the ballots, you’re going to see some interesting things come out.”

The Constitution gives states the authority to conduct federal elections, subject to laws passed by Congress.

Is Trump cancelling the 2026 midterm elections?
While speaking to Republicans last month about the importance of winning the midterms, Trump mentioned cancelling elections and in the same sentence, said that he was not actually calling for such a move.

He said “They had the worst president, did the worst job. They had the worst policy. We have to even run against these people. Now, I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election, because the fake news will say, ‘He wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator.”

Trump noted the slim Republican majority in the House ahead of this year’s midterm elections and the importance of a win.

The president went on to encourage House Republicans to campaign on his priorities and avoid shedding seats in the midterms. “They say that when you win the presidency, you lose the midterm. So, you’re all brilliant people. Most of you are in this business longer than me. That makes me smarter than you, because look where I am right? No, it doesn’t. But I wish you could, explain to me what the hell’s going on with the mind of the public. Because we have a — we have the right policy. They don’t. They have a horrible policy. They do stick together.”
