Angie Nixon’s promise to remove Donald Trump from office sparks RNC anger

Though President Donald Trump doesn’t currently face a threat of a third impeachment, Senate candidate Angie Nixon wants to see it.

The Jacksonville Democrat outraged Republicans with a social media post predicting the President’s incarceration.

“I can’t wait until Donald Trump is arrested and held accountable. I will definitely vote to remove him after becoming Florida’s next U.S. Senator,” Nixon posted on X.

The Republican National Committee, which is chaired by state Sen. Joe Gruters, slammed the rhetoric in a statement, and suggested the post served as a tell for nefarious goals should Democrats regain a Senate majority.

“The Democrat party is unhinged, unpopular, and completely consumed by their hatred of President Trump,” said RNC Chair Emma Hall. “Angie Nixon is a joke and so is her doomed campaign.”

Nixon, a state Representative, launched a campaign in January seeking to challenge U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody.

Trump was impeached twice in his first term, both times after Democrats won a majority in the House. But he survived a trial each time in the Senate, where two-thirds of Senators must support a vote to remove a President for it to happen.

Nixon must first win the Democratic nomination and faces Alex Vindman for the nomination. Vindman, a former National Security Council member, notably was fired after he testified about a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which led to Trump’s first impeachment.

Republicans have predicted a vindictive impeachment of Trump again if Democrats win a majority in the House in November.

Nixon’s fundraising reports for 2025 showed hefty support from U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat. Tlaib became the subject of Republican ire shortly after the start of her first term when she voiced an appetite for impeachment articles.

“We’re going to impeach the mother***er,” she told a crowd, as reported by The New York Times.
