Democrats ramp up calls as market doubts Trump impeachment
Kalshi prices this 81% no.
Despite a market consensus that impeachment is unlikely (81%), Democrats and legal scholars are intensifying calls to remove Trump. Lawmakers such as Congressman John Larson have filed fresh articles of impeachment and urged the 25th Amendment, while figures like Platner publicly declare removal necessary. The pressure follows Trump’s recent threats toward Iran, which prompted dozens of Democrats, including Illinois legislators, to demand action. Meanwhile, Forbes reports Trump is urging Congress to expunge his prior impeachments, a move not echoed by other outlets. The market’s light $94K trading underscores limited betting despite the political flare‑up. Watch for any House leadership response, a potential Senate vote, or a 25th Amendment invocation as the 2028 election cycle approaches.
