Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) said that he’s considering a White House run against President Trump, a move that could pose a challenge to the president’s campaign for a second term, the Washington Post reports.
“Amash, who left the Republican Party last year and is seeking reelection to his Grand Rapids-area House seat as an independent, made the comment in a tweet responding to a statement by Trump on Monday night that as president, his ‘authority is total.'”
