Speaking on Fox and Friends, Trump stated, “I heard yesterday, I heard if I do it, if I do it, they’re going to impeach me. So they’re impeaching me for doing what I constitutionally have to do. Here’s the thing … and I think then we win the election, then we win all elections if they do that. You saw what happened the last time, my numbers went way up last time they did it … if they do, my numbers will go up. I think we’ll win the entire election. I think we’ll win the House. I think we’re going to win back the House, I really do. I think we’re going to win the House anyway.”
Trump also asserted that Democrats would not hesitate if the roles were reversed, saying, “If the Democrats were in the same position, there is zero chance that they wouldn’t do it, just so you understand. So now they want to pack the courts … zero chance that they wouldn’t. They wouldn’t even talk about it. They’d say ‘You‘re crazy. What are you, crazy?’ And Biden made that statement before. If you go back, he made the statement — I’m sure he doesn’t remember it — but he made that statement before. So if the shoe was on the other foot, as they say, there would be no chance that they wouldn’t be doing it. They’d be doing it, and they’d be doing it probably a lot faster than we’ll do it.”
On Sunday, a reporter asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), “Congresswoman, you mentioned being open to all ideas to buy time. Would you be in support of potentially reviewing talks of impeachment hearings either against the attorney general or the president?”
