The Republican party holds the majority (barely) in both houses of Congress. In order to impeach, a majority in the House of Representatives has to vote for it (unlikely) then the Senate becomes the jury for the trial, and needs a two-thirds majority (extremely unlikely) to convict. The only way an impeachment is likely to happen is post-2026 elections. If the Democrats (there is no other party, unfortunately) gain the majority in both houses and a supermajority in the Senate (or the remaining Republicans are more centrist, unlikely), then an impeachment and conviction could happen.
