Odds for Trump to be Impeached: Trade on Politics Prediction Markets

• As the midterm elections draw nearer, speculation is ramping up as to whether President Donald J. Trump will be impeached during the remainder of his term in the Oval Office
• Democrats are perpetually looking for ways to undermine Trump’s agenda and another impeachment, while viewed by many as an overreach, is on the table as a campaign promise for them to gain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate
• Prediction markets are offering yes or no options on whether Trump will be impeached during this term

President Trump was impeached twice by the House during his first term. In both instances, he was acquitted in the Senate and stayed in office. During his second term, there has been noise about another impeachment. But with the GOP currently in control of both the House and the Senate, it would be a colossal waste of time, money and political capital to pursue it.

However, with Democrats favored to take the House in November and with a puncher’s chance to win control of the Senate, impeachment is again being mentioned as a possibility. Whether it is a good idea or not is secondary. For many, it is a message. Some do not seem to understand that the mere act of impeaching the president does not automatically result in them being removed from office.

Trump’s unilateral actions in Iran and Venezuela, perceived overreach in immigration enforcement, his endless penchant for public dustups with anyone who challenges him, and lingering anger over his first term have combined to contribute to the fervor in certain quarters for another impeachment.

Prediction markets give users the option to weigh in with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ pick, regarding a potential Trump impeachment over the final two-plus years of his term.

Key Factors to Consider for Trump Impeachment

Pursuing a Trump impeachment is a dual-edged sword for the Democrats. While it would be tantamount to a sugar high for many in the party who have grown so angry and despondent over their party’s ineffectiveness at blunting Trump and his MAGA acolytes, it is almost certainly a fruitless endeavor that, even if Trump is impeached, will not achieve their ultimate goal of removing him before his presidency officially concludes.

For some, it will be viewed as performative and useless. For others, the performance is the point. The promise of a Trump impeachment could be used as a carrot to get voters to the polls to vote blue in November. Still, it could come back to bite the Democrats, as it could spur disgruntled Trump voters who would otherwise stay home to fight back against the perceived persecution of Trump.

During his first term as president, Trump was impeached twice. The first over Ukraine and alleged strong arming for personal benefit took the tone of, “let’s get him for something, whatever it is.” In truth, it could be argued that Trump’s behavior with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fell in line with the tenets of the job in getting others to fall in line for U.S. interests. It was clumsy and overt, but impeachable only in the sense that it was technically a violation of the law. Other presidents would probably not have been impeached for it. It might not have reached the threshold for censure.

The second impeachment is a better example of why it makes no sense for the Democrats to go full-bore into an impeachment in 2027 and beyond.

The barometer is this: If Trump didn’t get convicted in the Senate after his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, then he’s not going to be convicted in the Senate no matter what he does.

A House impeachment is symbolic and will do nothing more than anger the American people who have had enough of frivolous pursuits of Trump at the expense of providing solutions to their problems.

The other factor is whether the Democrats will have the votes necessary to impeach him.

As of this moment, the GOP controls the House by a 217 to 212 margin. Impeachment is a majority vote in the House.

Although gerrymandering and legal disputes have opened the door for Republicans to buck the trends and polls and perhaps retain control of the House, it is still exceedingly unlikely. Hypothetically, if the Democrats do take control of the House, it might not be the “blue wave” they expected just a few months ago. A slim margin in the House makes it a legitimate possibility that Democrats in conservative-leaning districts will resist another impeachment because of the damage it would do to them in their district. It could do more harm than good, particularly since there’s no chance of him getting convicted in the Senate. And even if they do manage to convict him in the Senate and remove him from office, they would then get President JD Vance, who would not only be the Commander in Chief for the remainder of the term, but would then be eligible to run not once, but twice if he wins in 2028.

Could any functioning Democrat think that having President Vance is a good idea for their cause?

Given that Trump will have two years remaining in his term once the new House and Senate are seated in January 2027, the Democrats and Trump antagonists in his own party will cave to reality and run out the clock, try to find a viable general election candidate for 2028, and move on without another futile impeachment.
