US President Trump said on the 4th that if the Democrats launch an act of impeaching him after taking control of Congress next year, it will “destroy” the Democratic Party. Trump watched the beams erected and signed on them at the White House ballroom construction site on the same day. When asked if he was worried about being impeached, Trump said, “Not at all. I think if they do that — and launch impeachment for no reason — it will destroy the Democratic Party. Why is that? Is it because of a successful country? Our country is now more successful than at any time in history. Let's wait and see.” Trump also ruled out the possibility of firing Secretary of Defense Hegseth. In response to whether he would consider replacing Hegseth, he said, “No, I think he did a great job.” Earlier in the day, CBS quoted sources as reporting that after losing the Republican Party in the midterm elections, Trump had asked advisors whether Hegseth should stay in office. Many mainstream US media predicted that the Democratic Party won a big victory in the US midterm elections held on the 3rd and regained control of the Senate and House of Representatives.
