During a town hall near Atlanta, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., expressed strong support for impeaching President Donald Trump, stating that his conduct “has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment.” Ossoff highlighted concerns over Trump’s actions, including selling access to himself through a cryptocurrency venture, describing such actions as impeachable offenses. His comments came in response to an attendee who urged immediate action against Trump for what she described as his authoritarian behavior.
Ossoff acknowledged the sentiment but explained that impeachment is not currently feasible due to the Republican majority in the House. He emphasized that achieving the desired result would require a majority of the House, noting, “Believe me, I’m working on it every single day.” Furthermore, he pointed out Trump’s alleged defiance of a federal court order, although he did not specify the case.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee criticized Ossoff’s remarks as an attempt to “overturn the will of Georgia voters.” His support for impeachment aligns him with other congressional Democrats, such as Rep. Al Green and Rep. Shri Thanedar, who have similarly called for Trump’s impeachment.
Despite Trump being impeached twice during his first term and acquitted both times, the prospect of a third impeachment appears unlikely given the current Republican control of Congress. Yet, Ossoff’s remarks underscore a broader sentiment among Democratic voters, who, according to a recent NBC News poll, prefer a more aggressive stance against Trump rather than legislative compromises, reflecting a growing desire for the party to confront his agenda decisively.
