The U.S. House of Representatives rejected a motion to impeach Donald Trump, with Republicans rallying to protect the White House occupant.
The U.S. Congress House of Representatives failed to support an impeachment resolution targeting Donald Trump. The resolution was initiated by Democratic Representative Al Green, who linked the allegations to immigration policy. Trump has previously undergone impeachment proceedings twice—in 2019 and 2021.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted down a resolution calling for the initiation of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. The vote was broadcast live by C-SPAN.
Within the House, controlled by the Republican Party—the party of the nation's head of state—232 members voted in favor of ending consideration of the bill, while 147 representatives voted against it. As a result, the resolution was defeated.
The impeachment-related document was submitted to Congress on August 24 by U.S. Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas. He accused the president of abusing power through actions taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Since assuming office as the 47th President of the United States in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly claimed that approximately 25 million people entered the U.S. illegally before his presidency. The White House occupant has consistently advocated for stricter immigration policies.
Previously, the U.S. head of government had expressed confidence that if the Republicans lost the upcoming November congressional midterm elections, Democrats would initiate impeachment proceedings against him. Trump is the first president in U.S. history to have faced impeachment proceedings twice, both occurring during his first presidential term—once in 2019 and again in 2021—with both attempts ultimately rejected by the Senate.
The U.S. congressional midterm elections will be held on November 3, during which one-third of the 100 senators (33 seats) and all 435 members of the House of Representatives will be up for election. Currently, the Republican Party controls both chambers of Congress.
