Will Trump’s impeachment still be an issue in 2022?

[Tekken_Guy]

Will Donald Trump’s latest impeachment remain a relevant issue into 2022?

[Torrain]

If he's exonerated, it goes away.

If Trump is narrowly barred from running in 2024? I expect him to go ham.

He was always going to nominate a bunch of crazies in '22, but if he can't run again, I could see him trying to make the midterms a referendum on his bruised ego.

Beyond the man itself - it depends how the party as a whole sees him a year from now...

As long as Trump is legally liable which he is by state of NY with Tax Evasion, Trump will be an issue come 2022. 

[Neptunium]

No, people would discuss what Biden administration have done then.

When Trump is Prosecuted, by NY State, he can still suck all the oxygen away from Congressional Rs, and the good news is that Kevin Mccarthy isn't Boehner, Ryan, Hassert or Gingrich, whom were much more dominant than he is

Most voters will have forgotten about it by the summer, never mind November 2022.

Only in the primary elections for the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach him, plus whatever 2022 Senators vote to convict.

Other than that, no.

Why would even that be an issue?

Why would even that be an issue?

Because Republican voters will want to vote them out and replace them with pro-Trump Republicans?

Wouldn’t Republicans have moved on from Trump by then? He’s no longer president, after all.

Trump legal problems are gonna still be an issue after he leaves office and so will insurrectionists still be demonstrating.

Sorry, but Rs can't move past Trump, it's not over with and his Impeachment trial is still gonna go on

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Was Trump's impeachment an issue in 2020? No.

Thus I must say no.

He's the face of the GOP, they'll never move on from them. Half of the party thinks he was sent by God.

[MT Treasurer]

We’re talking about a Democratic administration/Congress that will pack the courts, effectively nuke the filibuster, create several new states just so the party can expand its majorities in both chambers of Congress, and attempt to do away with the entire checks-and-balances system. Somehow I don’t see Trump's impeachment being of greater salience than that in November 2022.

His approval in his own party is just 60 percent at this point.

[Progressive Pessimist]

No. Even without COVID and racial unrest I doubt his first impeachment would have been relevant in 2020 (outside of Collins and Van Drew's elections, perhaps). The bedrock of his base may still fume about it, but a lot is certain to happen by the next midterms that make this yet another footnote of the Trump era to the average American voter.
