A progressive push to impeach Donald Trump over airstrikes in Iran collapsed in the House as Democrats joined Republicans to shut it down. The vote exposed sharp divisions in the Democratic ranks and tested party leadership’s ability to rein in the far-left flank.
Key Facts:
- The House voted 344–79 to table Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution against President Trump.
- 128 Democrats joined Republicans in voting to kill the measure; only 79 Democrats supported it.
- Rep. Al Green (D-TX) cited Trump’s Iran strikes as grounds for impeachment, calling them unauthorized and authoritarian.
- Top House Democratic leaders, including Hakeem Jeffries and Katherine Clark, voted to quash the effort.
- Trump responded on Truth Social, mocking the effort and warning progressives like AOC to “worry about their own Primaries.”
The Rest of The Story:
Rep. Al Green, known for his repeated attempts to impeach Donald Trump, introduced a resolution claiming that Trump’s military action in Iran amounted to an illegal declaration of war.
Green insisted Congress must act to stop what he sees as growing authoritarianism.
But even within his own party, the appetite for another impeachment battle was thin.
Democratic leadership and the majority of their caucus voted to table the motion—essentially shelving it without debate.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries dodged questions about impeachment, instead advocating for hearings and debate over the War Powers Resolution.
President Trump, never one to let a political jab go unanswered, took to Truth Social to ridicule his critics, targeting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other left-wing Democrats.
He dared them to try impeachment again, all while highlighting their sinking poll numbers.

Commentary:
Let’s call this what it was: another performative stunt by the progressive fringe, dead on arrival—and rightly so.
Al Green has made a hobby out of trying to impeach Trump.
This time, he used the president’s strike on Iran as his excuse.
But even the Democratic leadership couldn’t stomach this one. They saw the fallout coming.
The American people are tired of impeachment theater.
After years of Russia hoaxes and partisan show trials, there’s little appetite for more.
That’s why 128 Democrats quietly helped Republicans bury this motion.
Green’s claim? That Trump’s airstrike without congressional authorization equals “authoritarianism.”
Funny, we don’t remember Green lodging similar complaints when Obama rained down drone strikes without a peep from Congress.
And then there’s AOC, predictably rushing to the impeachment mic.
But instead of projecting strength, she’s becoming a punchline.
Trump mocked her and dared her to try again.
He’s not just taunting—he’s calling out the political weakness that comes from leading with rage instead of reason.
Meanwhile, Jeffries and company are doing a delicate dance—trying to pacify their radicals without looking totally unhinged to swing voters.
This kind of internal tug-of-war is exactly what keeps Democrats from forming a coherent national message.
It’s not about Iran. It’s about the progressive wing trying to stay relevant by lighting matches in a dry room.
But the leadership knows that fire could burn down their own house—so for now, they’re playing fireman.
The Bottom Line:
Progressives tried to use Trump’s Iran strikes as a springboard for yet another impeachment push, but even most Democrats weren’t buying it.
The vote to table shows how disconnected the party’s activist wing is from its leadership.
The far-left wanted a fight.
What they got was a bipartisan shutdown.
