President Trump withdrew his endorsement for Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.) on Saturday over what he called a “lack of support” for the president’s sweeping tariff agenda, saying he would endorse Hurd’s challenger in the upcoming GOP primary instead.
“Based of a lack of support, in particular for the unbelievably successful TARIFFS imposed on Foreign Countries and Companies which has made America Richer, Stronger, Bigger, and Better than ever before, I am hereby WITHDRAWING my Endorsement of RINO Congressman Jeff Hurd, of Colorado’s 3rd District, and fully Endorsing Highly Respected Patriot, Hope Scheppelman, to take his place in Congress,” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post.
The Hill reached out to Hurd’s campaign for comment.
Hurd was among a group of six House Republicans who joined with Democrats earlier this month to pass a resolution to repeal Trump’s tariffs on Canada by terminating the national emergency the president had used to justify the punitive action.
