CBS News: Justin Amash launches exploratory committee in step toward presidential run
A five-term congressman, Amash left the Republican Party last year.
Some conservatives who want Trump out of office agree Amash will only hurt Democrats if he runs. Former Republican candidate for president Joe Walsh wrote, “Amash can’t win. But he can siphon enough votes from the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, to hand the election to Trump.”
I admired how @justinamash stood up for the rule of law in Trump’s impeachment. And needless to say, my views align more closely with Amash’s than Biden’s.
But the only real effect Amash could have in this campaign is to enhance Trump’s chances.
This is a terrible idea. https://t.co/lAimU4KEoB
