Jan. 6 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump warned House Republicans on Tuesday that if they fail to hold on to the chamber in November's midterm elections, the Democrats will impeach him.
"You got to win the midterms because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be, I mean -- they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached," Trump told a few dozen GOP lawmakers in attendance at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for a House Republican policy retreat.
Trump has repeatedly expressed concern over the future of the GOP's slim majority of the House ahead of next fall's midterm elections, as the president's party has historically suffered losses in the midterms and his first year back in office has been marked by divisive policies and rhetoric.
This summer, GOP-controlled Texas, under pressure from Trump, redrew its congressional district maps to secure more Republican seats in November -- setting off gerrymander redistricting efforts by both parties in states they hold majorities.
