Illinois GOP Rep. Chris Miller impeaches Gov. Pritzker, alleging his 2025 speeches incited violence, but removal is unlikely in the Democratic Senate.

Illinois Republican Congressman Chris Miller has filed impeachment articles against Governor JB Pritzker, alleging the governor incited violence through inflammatory statements made in early 2025, including during his State of the State address and in subsequent remarks. Miller, chairman of the Illinois Freedom Caucus, links these statements to specific incidents of alleged political violence. The impeachment process requires a majority vote in the Illinois House and a trial in the Democratic-controlled Senate, making removal unlikely.
