More than 30 members of Congress have now expressed support for either impeaching Donald Trump or invoking the 25th Amendment to transfer power to the vice president — a stunning escalation in Washington.
Key voices include Sen. Bernie Sanders, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, Rep. Yassamin Ansari, Sen. Chris Murphy, Rep. Maxine Dexter, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — among a growing list of Democrats raising alarms.
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unable to carry out their duties, while impeachment would require action from Congress itself. Neither path has ever been successfully used to remove a sitting president in this way — underscoring just how extraordinary this moment is.
The surge in support reflects intensifying concern over Trump’s recent actions and rhetoric, marking one of the most serious constitutional flashpoints in modern U.S. history.
