Ex-GOP lawmaker Amash calls out Nancy Pelosi over impeachment: 'She's making a mistake'
-- Representative Justin Amash said he “wouldn’t rule out” a run as a third-party presidential candidate but plans to seek re-election to Congress in his Michigan district as an independent after leaving the Republican Party.
A libertarian-minded lawmaker, Amash had been the lone Republican member of Congress to back impeaching President Donald Trump. He’s said a full reading of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election convinced him that Trump engaged in “impeachable conduct.” Amash rejected a suggestion that the group’s brinkmanship and aversion to compromise had exacerbated the very political inflexibility that he said drove him from Republican Party.
Jim Lower, a Republican state representative in Michigan who plans to run for Amash’s seat in 2020, has said he is already seeking Trump’s endorsement.
