President Trump delivers remarks at the House GOP member retreat
President Donald Trump issued a dire warning to House Republicans, asserting that their failure to hold the majority in the 2026 midterm elections would lead directly to a third impeachment effort by radical Democrats.
Speaking at a private Republican retreat held at the newly renamed Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the President framed the upcoming November elections as an existential fight for his political survival.
TRUMP: “You’ve got to win the midterms, because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be—I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.
“We don’t impeach them. You know why? Because they’re meaner than we are. We should have impeached Joe Biden for a hundred different things. They are mean and smart, but fortunately for you, they have horrible policy.”
Trump is right about almost everything, but he is wrong on one point: Joe Biden was not impeached because Congress is filled with cowardly representatives who refused to act.
WATCH:
President Donald Trump also intensified his push for a federal overhaul of election laws on Tuesday, demanding that Congress immediately pass legislation mandating nationwide voter ID.
Trump has consistently advocated for a national voter identification requirement, stating that the only reason for opposing such a law is the desire to “cheat” in elections.
He had previously attempted to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration through an executive order, but a federal judge permanently blocked that effort in October 2025, ruling that Congress and the states, not the president, have the authority to regulate election protocols.
Democrats aren’t winning midterm elections because their policies work, they’re winning because the system is rigged.
From widespread election abuses to the deliberate importation of millions from third-world countries to pad future voter rolls, their strategy is clear: replace voters they’ve lost with voters they can control.
Trump:
“You want to have voter ID. You want to insist on it. You want to insist on it. Can you imagine? In California, they not only don’t have voter ID, but if an official at the voting booths—which they don’t have, by the way, because it’s all mail—if an official, a voting official, even asks somebody for voter ID, “Sir, would you like to see your identification? Do you come from our country?” they put them in jail for tampering with the election. Okay?
We’ve got to straighten this out before it gets too crazy. California is more corrupt than any place. California is more corrupt than Minnesota—and I won Minnesota. They’re very embarrassed when they say, “We want voter ID, voter identification.” The only reason somebody doesn’t want that is because they want to cheat.
Our elections are crooked as hell. You could not only win elections over that, and not only win future elections, but you win every debate because the public is really angry about it. And you would have passed the SAFE Act—or whatever you’re going to call it. Are we going to call it the SAFE Act or the Save America Act? I think we’re going to change the name a little bit.
You’re going to put that up for a vote? I think everybody in this room certainly should do it. And it’s a bad vote for them, because they’re voting against things like voter ID and other things that are almost equal to voter ID. But when somebody says, “No, we don’t want voter ID,” that means they’re crooked—and the public understands.”
WATCH:
The SAVE Act passed the House in April by a narrow margin of 216–208, with Republicans unified in support and only four Democrats — Reps. Ed Case (HI), Henry Cuellar (TX), Jared Golden (ME), and Marie Perez (WA).
The legislation, championed by Republicans, would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register and vote in federal elections.
The bill aims to amend the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 to require documentary proof of citizenship for federal elections.
According to Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), the Republican-controlled Senate is holding up a vote on legislation that has already passed the House.
The SAVE Act ensures ONLY US CITIZENS can vote in US elections.
LAST YEAR: @HouseGOP PASSED The SAVE Act, but Senate Dems blocked us.
264 DAYS AGO: @HouseGOP PASSED The SAVE Act again, but it’s held-up in the Senate.
I agree with @SenMikeLee—It’s time to PASS THE SAVE ACT NOW! https://t.co/144UVpyU7D

Trump has repeatedly called on Senate Republicans to invoke the “nuclear option” and terminate the filibuster and pass voter ID requirements, ban mail-in voting, cashless bail reform, end transgender insanity in women’s sports, end taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens, and more. “I wouldn’t have been in favor of that a long time ago, but you know, the Democrats are going to do that, and most of you will admit the Democrats are going to do that. So why aren’t we doing it?” he said.
