Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declined to dismiss the idea of pursuing impeachment against President Donald Trump if Democrats succeed in retaking Congress.
During the interview, host Dana Bash asked, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”
Schumer responded, “Well, look, right now, President Trump is violating rule of law in every way and we’re fighting him every single day in every way. And our goal is to show the American people over and over again, whether it’s the economy, whether it’s tariffs, whether it’s Russia and overseas and whether it’s rule of law, how bad he is. And you know, it’s two years it’s too far away to predict. Our job is day to day to day to show who Trump is, what he is doing, and it’s having an effect as your polls show.”
Bash followed up by saying, “You’re not ruling out.”
Schumer replied, “The American people are realizing.”
Bash pressed once more, stating, “You’re not saying no.”
Schumer concluded, “Look, it’s too far away to even, it’s too far away to even judge.”
