If President Trump were to be impeached tomorrow, Would they still hold the upcoming 2020 election?

Someone please explain this one to me with cliff notes if possible...I'm no politician and generally try to avoid anything politically related. But as this seems to be a bit of a talking point lately, I need this bit of the election process explained.

If Pres Trump were to be impeached now-ish, would they still hold an election in 2020, or would the VP simply finish out the term until 2024?

The VP would finish this term and then the 2020 elections would go on as usual.

@SW-User Gotchya thanks. I thought it was something more like that I just didn't know if the timing would affect any of the process, what with us being so close to the next election and all.

Yes lmao. Pence would take over in the interim, if the impeachment was successful.

Bill Clinton was impeached but he remained in office. Trump won’t be impeached

If all the liberals dropped out of the race they would still hold the election in 2020.

The 2020 election will take place regardless of who the sitting President is.

Impeached or convicted? Conviction won't happen.

The election would be held as scheduled.
clinton was impeached and still held office. if trump be removed like nixon then pence would just take over as remaining time until elections. then elections go on as normal.

You can be impeached and still hold office. If he was somehow removed from office Pence would finish out the term.

There is a presidential election every 4 years. It doesn't matter who is the president.

@hippyjoe1955 I'm waiting to hear the words 'Iowa Caucus' before too long.

Temp fill in president still needs to run at the next regular election. No freebies

Of course there would still be an election in 2020.
Yes. Chances are even an impeachment wouldn’t mean Trump would actually be removed from office.
