Fuentes Urges Impeachment

Nick Fuentes, a far-right podcaster, says U.S. President Donald Trump may face impeachment after the 2026 midterms and urges followers to boycott the election.
Fuentes says a Democratic House could investigate Trump administration figures such as Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, potentially leading to new allegations against Trump.
He criticizes Trump for not being aggressive enough on immigration and says ongoing crises could intensify impeachment discussions.

The House voted 228-206 for impeachment on December 19, 1998. This event parallels current discussions around President Trump's potential impeachment, reflecting ongoing political tensions as the 2026 midterms approach.
