Other lawmakers have made similar attempts. U.S. Rep. Al Green and U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar each introduced impeachment measures earlier in 2025.
Congress must come back immediately to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. I join Leader Jeffries’ call for Republicans to put duty over party and stop this madness. Where are they? Are none of them willing to stand up to Trump? pic.twitter.com/cVoQ0wr9a4

Political analyst Scott McLean, a professor at Quinnipiac University, said impeachment efforts often reflect pressure from party bases. “Their own base … demanded it,” McLean said, referring to past impeachment efforts against Trump.
Trump was impeached twice during his first term but was acquitted both times by the Senate. Any new impeachment effort would face a similar hurdle, requiring Senate conviction to remove a president from office.
2 days after Connecticut media said Democrat Congressman John Larson is having a very tough re-election bid is now mounting a long-shot bid to impeach President Trump as he continues to stare primary threats from younger socialist leaning challengers.

Hartford Board of Education member Ruth Fortune also backed Larson’s move. “Trump must be removed from office,” Fortune said, calling the impeachment effort “overdue.”
Larson, who has served in Congress since 1999, is currently facing primary challenges, including from former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. Bronin supported the impeachment effort and called for Trump’s removal from office.
“The president of the United States is unstable … and a danger to our country,” Bronin said. “I’m glad that Congressman Larson has joined me in calling for his removal,” he said.
The resolution now sits in committee with no clear path forward.
