Overview

• Donald Trump has endorsed Jerrod Sessler, a Navy veteran and former NASCAR driver, to challenge Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) in Washington's 4th Congressional District.
• Newhouse, who voted to impeach Trump following the January 6 Capitol riot, is one of only two such Republicans still serving in the House.
• This marks Trump's second attempt to oust Newhouse, following a failed endorsement in the 2022 elections.
• Sessler, endorsed by Trump, is described as a staunch MAGA supporter and has also received backing from key figures like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone.
• Trump's endorsement reflects his ongoing strategy to remove Republicans he deems disloyal, particularly those who supported his impeachment.
