From Fox News: Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump is exacting revenge on a House GOP lawmaker who voted to impeach him nearly four years ago.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., is one of only two House Republicans left in Congress out of the original 10 who defied their party and voted with Democrats after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
In his statement, posted both on Truth Social and X, Trump began by confirming his endorsement for Jerrod Sessler, who is running against Newhouse.
Sessler, 55, a Navy veteran, has also been endorsed by the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, the report notes.
In Washington, the top two candidates from the primary election go on to compete in the general election, regardless of political party.
“Jerrod Sessler is a fantastic Candidate and will be a GREAT Congressman for Washington State’s 4th Congressional District. A Navy Veteran, Entrepreneur, Loving Father and Husband, Jerrod will fight hard every day to Secure the Border, Stand for the Rule of Law, Strengthen our Military, Take Care of our Vets, Defend our Nation, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment,” Trump wrote.
“He is running against a Weak and Pathetic RINO named Newhouse, who voted to, for no reason, Impeach me. Newhouse has to go! He wished he didn’t do what he did, but it’s too late, and besides that, he didn’t represent the people nearly as well as Jerrod will. Jerrod will do an incredible job – He is MAGA all the way, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement. JERROD SESSLER WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!” Trump added.

Sessler responded to Trump’s endorsement, writing, “It’s not as much about an election as it is about saving our nation and protecting our people. Let’s say YES to America and Make America Great Again!”
