The National Republican Senatorial Committee attacked the remarks of U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) as “disgusting” and accused him of working to “overturn the will of Georgia,” after Ossoff promised another impeachment. Ossoff told supporters at Friday Cobb County town hall that he “strongly” supports a push to impeach President Donald Trump a third time if midterms deliver as recent polling suggests.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Ossoff, who will be seeking a second term next year, made his vow after taking a question from Avondale Estates activist Kate Denny as to why senior Democrats had removed impeachment from the table.
Ossoff answered that impeachment is impossible with Republicans controlling both the House and Senate, but said midterms could change this.

“[T]here is no doubt that this president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the United States House of Representatives,” Ossoff said, and then referenced Trump’s recent decision to hawk White House tours to top purchasers of his memecoin, which personally enrich Trump and his family.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP’s campaign arm, immediately attacked Ossoff’s promise.
“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 NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella. “This is the Democrats’ endgame. Not helping families, not securing the border, not lowering costs, but weaponizing government to destroy their political opponents. The American people won’t stand for it.”
Polls show Trump is as deeply underwater as he was when midterms sent a Democratic wave through Congress in his first term. One Pew survey shows the president with an overall approval rating of 40 percent compared to a disapproval rating of 59 percent. The survey also reveals only 44 percent approval from men, his strongest demographic, compared to 55 percent who disapprove. Even a recent Fox News poll of his first 100 days put the president is at 44 percent.
