Scalise warns Democrats would move to impeach Trump if they regain Congress

During the first Republican midterm convention held in Dallas, Texas, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise warned Republican voters that a Democratic victory in the upcoming midterms would trigger an impeachment effort against President Donald Trump. He asserted that the Democratic Party is now dominated by “crazy communists” who would repeal the administration’s signature measures, such as the policy of not taxing tips and overtime earnings, and would raise taxes on all working Americans.

Scalise urged voters to turn out to protect the president’s “America First” agenda. The two-day convention will feature multiple GOP leaders, with Trump expected to address the crowd on both nights. The warning comes as both parties gear up for the November 3 general election, historically marked by low turnout.
