President Donald Trump's comments about Iran have led to a surge in impeachment and 25th Amendment odds, with a 28% chance of him being removed from office before 2028.
Markets tracking political bets show a growing belief that Trump could face impeachment or have the 25th Amendment used against him in response to his alarming comments about Iran.
Kalshi, a major prediction market, now puts the odds of Trump being impeached and removed at 27.5%, while the odds of the 25th Amendment being used against him rose to 33.2% on Tuesday.
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to declare the president unable to fulfill his duties, giving executive power to the vice president.
The increase in impeachment and 25th Amendment odds came after Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, appearing to threaten the destruction of all of Iran's population if the country did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to cargo ships.
Former MAGA Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Trump sharply, writing, '25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.'
Dozens of Democratic lawmakers also joined the chorus, calling for the president to be removed either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.
