Former Michigan GOP Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Trump, announced Friday that he was dropping out of the race to represent the Great Lakes State in the U.S. Senate.
Former Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., announced Friday evening that he had dropped out of the race to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate. 'I got into this race because I believed I had the strongest chance of winning in November to work to right this ship and reverse trendlines that have only gotten worse over these past months,' Meijer, whose family founded the Meijer supermarket chain, said in a statement posted on X.
Shortly after Meijer released the statement, Trump took to Truth Social and congratulated 'all Good Republicans' and insisted 'the 10 Impeachers are just about gone.' 'Peter Meijer, one of the 10 Impeachers of your Favorite President, ME, and someone thought of to have a very good political future, has just withdrawn from the Senate Race in the Great State of Michigan,' the former president wrote.
Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is currently the highest polling Democrat seeking the position, outpacing her top challenger in the race, actor Hill Harper.
