Rep. Mikie Sherrill floats impeaching Trump a third time as she runs for NJ governor

Rep.Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) suggested last week that a third impeachment of President Trump could be the only way to thwart Republicans after the 2026 midterms in a bid to shore up support for her New Jersey gubernatorial run.“I think you have to test yourself.

I think it’s not enough to take on one tough fight.I think there’s a lot of tough fights going on,” Sherrill told supporters during an event at Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company Station 34 in Manchester Township on April 26.“When I impeached the president the first time — who knew I would ever be saying–” she began at one point.“Do it again,” one attendee interjected, prompting laughter from the town hall audience.“Yeah, exactly.

We’ll see,” she replied.“Maybe we’ll go for the trifecta.”“But when I impeached him the first time, I thought I would probably lose my seat after that because of my district,” she continued.Sherill’s verbal blows followed a call for Democrats to take to the streets in mass demonstrations from Illinois Gov.

JB Pritzker, who recently hinted at a 2028 presidential bid by traveling to an early primary state.“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption.But I am now,” Pritzker said at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday.“These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he told guests.

“They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have.”On Monday, Rep.Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) filed seven articles of impeachment against Trump for not facilitating the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US — after he was deported to El Salvador — and eliminating federal programs without congressional authorization, among other alleged high crimes and misdemeanors.Sherrill, 52, is in a tough Democratic primary fight with fellow Rep.
