Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Jerrod Sessler, a primary challenger to Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, who voted to impeach Trump over his role in the Jan. 6 riot. Trump praised Sessler as a fantastic candidate for Washington State's 4th Congressional District.
Donald Trump on Friday endorsed a primary challenger to Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, one of two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president over his role in the Jan. 6 riot. In a Truth Social post, Trump threw his support behind Jerrod Sessler , a former petty-officer in the Navy who has gone after Newhouse for his impeachment vote.
The former president did not endorse a primary challenger against Valadao. This is the second time Trump has tried to oust Newhouse, who has served in Congress since 2015. In 2022, Trump backed Loren Culp. Newhouse was helped in part by Washington state's top-two all-party primary system, in which Culp came in third behind Democrat Doug White, who was later defeated in the general election.
