Trump Calls for Hakeem Jeffries’ Impeachment After Court Criticism

Donald Trump called for Hakeem Jeffries to be impeached or removed after Jeffries criticized a Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana’s congressional map. Left-leaning outlets emphasize Trump’s personal attacks and present the exchange as an escalation; one account also notes Jeffries’s response and Democrats’ plan to restore the Voting Rights Act. Center outlets focus on Trump’s demand and clarify that expulsion, not impeachment, is the process for removing a member of Congress. Right-leaning outlets pair the demand with Jeffries’s response, including his turnabout of a phrase used by Trump supporters.
