Trump Urges Voters to Oust Rep. Newhouse

Former President Donald Trump is actively campaigning against Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), one of the few GOP lawmakers who voted to impeach him after the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump labeled Newhouse a 'Weak and Pathetic RINO' and endorsed his opponent, Jerrod Sessler, who has gained support from Trump and the House Freedom Caucus. Newhouse, seeking a sixth term in Washington's 4th Congressional District, argues that his impeachment vote won't hinder future collaboration with Trump should he return to the presidency. The race is emblematic of the ongoing division within the Republican Party, with Trump loyalists pushing against those who break ranks. As the election approaches, polling indicates Sessler outperformed Newhouse in the primaries, creating a competitive landscape in a traditionally Republican district. Newhouse's previous win margin against Democrats highlights the challenge he faces from Sessler and Trump’s influence over GOP voters.
