Speaker of the House Mike Johnson issued a stark warning at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest Summit on December 22, 2025, urging conservatives to secure Republican majorities in the House ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“If we lose the House majority, the radical left will impeach President Trump,” Johnson said, invoking the lessons of Trump’s previous impeachments in 2019 and 2021. His remarks framed control of Congress as critical to protecting the president from what he described as politically motivated attacks.

Johnson emphasized that slim Republican margins in Congress could leave the president vulnerable to another partisan effort at removal, highlighting the ongoing stakes for GOP voters and candidates. The speaker’s message was both a rallying cry for party unity and a call to action for the 2026 electoral cycle.

The warning underscores the persistent concern among Republican leadership that a Democratic-controlled House could leverage impeachment proceedings as a political tool, making the midterm elections pivotal for the Trump administration’s second term. Johnson’s comments aim to energize grassroots and congressional efforts to maintain legislative control and prevent what he described as an unnecessary and politically charged attempt to remove the president once again.
