Even Kamala Harris Admits the Trump Impeachment Dream Is Dead

Democrats have spent months telling their voters that if they win the House next week, President Trump is finished. Impeachment hearings, a Senate trial, and a removal vote would follow.

Kamala Harris just let the air out of that balloon.

"I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea, just to be honest with you, just because we have limited resources," Harris told MeidasTouch host Aaron Parnas on Tuesday. "Remember, I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren't there."

She's right about the votes, and the problem goes deeper than she let on.

The House can impeach with a simple majority. But removing a president takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate, which means 67 senators. Republicans hold 53 seats right now. Even the rosiest Democratic forecasts have them winning only a seat or two more than that. To convict, Democrats would need somewhere around 15 to 20 Republicans to vote with them.

They couldn't even get that after January 6. Seven Republicans voted to convict Trump in 2021, and only two of them, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, are still in the Senate. Another of the seven, Bill Cassidy, just lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger. Republican voters remember who voted how.

Democrats can't even hold their own side together. Texas Rep. Al Green has forced three impeachment votes since Trump took office. The House tabled all three. In June 2025, 128 Democrats voted with Republicans to kill his resolution. In September, 18 more Democrats joined Republicans to table it. Another 46, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his top deputies, voted "present" so they wouldn't have to take a side.

That's the party's own leadership refusing to say yes.

There's a reason for that, and it isn't only the math. The Constitution says a president can be impeached for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." After three tries, Democrats still haven't named one.

Look at Green's latest attempt. His charge was about immigration enforcement, meaning Trump is removing people who are in the country illegally. That's the law. Congress wrote it, and it's been on the books for decades. The Constitution requires the president to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Trump is doing exactly that.

Democrats can dislike how vigorously he enforces the law. They can argue about it in court and on the campaign trail, which is how the system is supposed to work. But disagreeing with a president isn't a high crime, and enforcing the law isn't a misdemeanor.

Notice what Harris didn't say. She didn't say Trump committed an impeachable offense. She didn't claim there's a crime Democrats can't quite prove. Her only objection was that they'd lose. Even the woman Trump beat in 2024 couldn't come up with a reason to remove him.

What she wants instead is investigations. Harris told Parnas the party's "energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations." In practice, that means two more years of subpoenas, hearings, and cable news segments, which is a fundraising plan more than a plan to remove anybody.

Democratic voters are still being sold the impeachment dream. Their own leaders are quietly telling them it won't happen.

It takes 67 votes in the Senate to remove a president. Democrats have tried three times this term and haven't gotten a majority of the House to even take up the charges.
