Rep. Dan Newhouse is facing a new barrage of attacks from former President Donald Trump just a week before Election Day.
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.
Trump also emphasized his support for Newhouse's rival. 'Jerrod Sessler is a fantastic Candidate and will be a GREAT Congressman for Washington State’s 4th Congressional District.' 'He is running against a Weak and Pathetic RINO named Newhouse, who voted to, for no reason, Impeach me,' Trump wrote. Sessler, a Navy veteran, is challenging Newhouse for Washington's 4th Congressional District.
Newhouse is seeking a sixth term representing what is the reddest district in Washington state, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. He came second to Sessler in the state's primary elections over the summer. Washington's primaries do not operate on a party-based system – instead, the top-two candidates in the race advance to the general election.
