Congressman Just Amash, the lone Republican member of the House to call for the impeachment of Donald Trump, is now floating the idea of a 2020 run against the President. The Hill reports:
Rep. Justin Amash, the lone Republican in Congress to call for President Trump’s impeachment, says he has no desire to play “spoiler” if he launches a third-party bid against Trump in 2020.
“I have no interest in playing spoiler. When I run for something, I run to win,” the Michigan Republican told The Hill on Wednesday as he descended the steps of the Capitol toward his office.
“I haven’t ruled anything out,” Amash replied when asked if he’s made a decision about a possible presidential bid.
But if he does run, some of his GOP colleagues worry that the five-term Libertarian-leaning congressman from Grand Rapids could siphon tens of thousands of votes away from Trump in a general election, potentially moving Rust Belt states that Trump won in 2016 — such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — into the Democratic column next year.
Does Amash really have serious Presidential ambitions? Or is he just trying to play spoiler?
