Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Robert Garcia, D-Calif., who would be positioned to lead the powerful House Judiciary and Oversight committees if Democrats win the majority.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has already predicted that Democrats would attempt to impeach him again if they take control of the House.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/urbaneconomynews.com\/?p=1978\">Betty Friedan\u2019s Warning: What She Understood\u2014and What We Got Wrong<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The House impeached Trump twice during his first term. The first impeachment came in 2019 over his dealings with Ukraine. The second followed the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The Senate acquitted Trump in both cases.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats would gain significantly expanded investigative authority if they capture the House, including control of committee hearings and subpoenas.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries also outlined several legislative priorities Democrats would pursue if they take control, including efforts to reverse Trump\u2019s tariffs, end U.S. involvement in the war with Iran and restore enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are some of the things that I think we can begin to do,\u201d Jeffries said, adding that Democrats would pursue an aggressive legislative agenda throughout the next Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Control of the House will be decided in the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
