As the 2026 midterm elections approach, discussion about potential priorities in Washington is already taking shape, with commentary focusing on what could happen if Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives.

Scott Jennings outlined what he described as a likely course of action, citing a recent report about internal Democratic planning.

“It is an election year. As you know, midterms are coming in November,” Jennings said.

He continued by posing a question about policy direction, asking, “What is the first thing that Democrats would do if they win back the House in November?”

Jennings answered his own question, stating, “The first thing, the very first thing is impeach Donald Trump again for the third time.”

He added, “But don't take my word for it. According to a new report from Axios, breaking today, House Democrats are already laying the groundwork for a day-one impeachment if they take power after the 2026 election.”

According to Jennings, the report described ongoing preparation efforts.

“Day one, they're talking about building a case right now, holding shadow hearings, lining everything up so the minute they grab the gavels, they can go straight to impeaching the president,” he said.

He also referenced shifting dynamics within the Democratic caucus.

“Right after the last election, a lot of Democrats were hesitant to go down this road again,” Jennings said.

He added, “But now the pressure is building inside their party, among the radicals who now call the shots.”

Jennings continued, “Support for impeachment inside the Democratic caucus has jumped significantly, according to the reports, with more and more House members signing on.”

Jennings argued that this reflects a broader pattern.

“So here we are again, the same playbook, the same obsession with the idea that Donald Trump is not and has never been a legitimate president,” he said.

He added, “That is what's at the heart of all of this they cannot get over the fact that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton way back in 2016.”

He also addressed what he described as internal debate among Democrats.

“Now even some Democrats admit this isn't necessarily the most important thing they should be doing,” Jennings said.

“There is some internal debate. There's clearly some hesitation,” he added, before stating,

“But the leaders of the Democratic Party are powerless to stop the radical mob that makes up the core of their movement.”

Jennings then characterized the potential direction of a Democratic-controlled House.

“Let me translate this into plain English,” he said.

“If they win, they are not coming to govern. They are coming to retaliate. They are coming for retribution. They are coming for political blood.”

During the discussion, Jennings also referenced remarks made by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, pointing to comments about political strategy.

“As Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic House Leader, has said this week, it's maximum warfare,” Jennings said.

A clip of Jeffries’ remarks was then played. “We are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere, all the time,” Jeffries said.

He continued, “And we're going to keep the pressure on Republicans in every single state in the union to ensure at the end of the day that there is a fair National Map.”

Jeffries added, “Because we believe that it's the people who should decide who is in the majority in the next Congress, not Donald Trump and MAGA extremists.”

Jennings reiterated the phrasing used by Jeffries. “Maximum warfare, the words of the Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries,” he said.
