Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced that he will not run for the U.S. Senate, dealing a blow to Senate Republicans and President Trump, the Washington Post reports.
“Cramer, who has been a staunch supporter of Trump dating back to the 2016 presidential campaign and has a higher profile than most Republicans in his state… Trump extensively courted Cramer for the race, even calling his wife and asking him to get in the race.”
