Jon Ossoff, a Georgia Senator who could face a tough re-election battle in a swing state in 2026, said if Democrats take back the House of Representatives, he’ll support impeaching Donald Trump.
Trump was impeached twice during his first term in 2019 and 2021 but the Senate could not achieve the two-thirds majority needed for removal.
Texas Rep. Al Green – who memorably was kicked out of Trump’s address to Congress for protesting – has already brought forward articles of impeachment toward Trump, though no serious movement has been made.
Ossoff was fielding a town hall in his home state when a Democrat asked why none of the party’s leaders had tried to impeach the president again.
‘This is unacceptable. You can do more. Think outside the box. He needs to be impeached,’ the woman, identified as activist Kate Denny, pressured Ossoff.
Somewhat surprisingly, Ossoff agreed, saying that ‘there is no doubt that this president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the United States House of Representatives.’
While Green cited Trump’s backing of what he called ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Palestinians in Gaza, Ossoff focused on a little-noticed aspect of Trump’s presidency he feels is corrupt.
‘I just saw 48 hours ago that he is granting audiences to people who buy his memecoin,’ he said.

Trump’s cryptocurrency was unveiled in January to shock even among crypto enthusiasts. First Lady Melania has since launched her own coin.
Ossoff also considers the treatment of illegal migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia impeachment-worthy.
‘And the reality is that that’s just one of many. Defying a federal court order, for example. So I agree with you,’ he said.
However, he said that nothing is possible until the Democrats flip back the House of Representatives which can’t happen until 2026.
‘As strongly as I agree with you, ma’am — and I regret if this is an unwelcome response — but my job is to be honest with you,’ he said.
‘The only way to achieve what you want to achieve is to have a majority in the United States House of Representatives. And believe me, I’m working on it every single day.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House for comment.
Ossoff was called ‘disgusting’ by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and said he was trying to ‘overturn the will of Georgia voters who just elected President Trump.’

‘Sen. Jon Ossoff just said the quiet part out loud: Democrats want to flip the House so they can impeach, remove, and imprison President Trump,’ said a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Ossoff faces re-election in 2026 in a state that chose Donald Trump over Joe Biden in 2024 by a little over 100,000 votes.
Georgia lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene believes that she may have what it takes to put her name in the hat.
The lawmaker is reportedly planing to hop in the race if the Georgia’s popular Gov. Brian Kemp opts out of running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff.
Kemp is term-limited and cannot run again, so Greene appears to be preparing for a contentious GOP primary should he bow out.
The sources revealed that Greene believes she would ‘crush’ the competition if Kemp stays out of the contest.
Reps. Mike Collins, Buddy Carter and Rich McCormick are all reportedly interested in hoping in the race, meaning the race could get messy as the House Republicans angle for the coveted Senate seat.
Should she decide to run, Greene would be in the spotlight for one of the nation’s most contentious Senate races, which will likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

In 2020, when Ossoff last ran for Senate, the contest ended up costing over $500 million, according to data compiled by OpenSecrets.
And already Ossoff, 38, is raising money to fend off a challenge to his seat.
According to a recent Politico report, the Georgia Democrat already has over $11 million in his war chest over a year and a half out from the 2026 election.
Though MTG’s hopes to run for the upper chamber may be dashed by Kemp as he is the clear favorite should he get in the race.
Multiple polls examining the race have shown that in a head-to-head matchup between Kemp and Ossoff, the governor trounces the Democrat.
A survey from WPA Intelligence for the Club for Growth in January found that Kemp leads Ossoff 46 to 40 with 14 percent of respondents still undecided.
Another poll from the Tyson Group in February found Kemp leading 49 to 42, with 8 percent undecided.
And Senate leadership has been lobbying Kemp to run, too.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott met with the Georgia governor in Atlanta this month to convince him to run.
As a two-term governor Kemp has a robust fundraising network and an already built out political operation.
Regardless, Greene would be able to breeze through the GOP primary process if Kemp were to stay on the sidelines, one of the sources told the outlet.
She also has an advantage in being a close Trump ally whereas Kemp drew the ire of the former president after rebuffing him after the 2020 election.
