US President Donald Trump told House Republicans on January 6 that failure to retain control in the midterm elections could lead to a third impeachment.

He noted that he had already faced two impeachment efforts in his first term, first in 2019 for alleged abuse of power and obstruction tied to Ukraine, and again in early 2021 for inciting the January 6 Capitol riot, both of which ended in acquittal.
