The U.S. House of Representatives on December 11, local time, postponed the motion to impeach President Trump proposed by Texas Congressman Al Green, with a voting result of 237 votes in favor and 140 votes against.
Among Democrats, 23 voted "not to discuss," 140 believed it should be discussed, and 47 did not "attend" (including the Democratic House leader).
There was a split in opinions, because impeaching at this time would certainly fail and provide ammunition for the Republicans in the midterm elections.
Previously, Green had released a statement on his official website, accusing Trump of abuse of power, "spreading violence, inciting hatred, undermining democracy, and damaging the republic."
This time, the rejection gave Trump more confidence, reduced his burden, and allowed him to act boldly.
Will there be similar impeachment motions before the midterm elections?
In the 2026 midterm elections, the Republicans are making full preparations. The master planner Wiles has required a mass mobilization like that for the 2024 presidential election, ensuring the voting rate of presidential supporters, expanding the advantage of the legislators, and aiming for certain victory. This failure of the impeachment motion has boosted morale and enhanced determination, which is a major benefit for Trump.
