Trump Drops Endorsement of GOP Lawmaker Over Tariff Agenda Disagreement
President Donald Trump pulled his endorsement of Rep. Jeff Hurd due to the lawmaker's lack of support for Trump's tariff agenda. The decision came after Hurd publicly stated that Congress is 'constitutively opposed' to tariffs.
President Donald Trump has withdrawn his endorsement of Rep. Jeff Hurd, a Republican lawmaker from Colorado, over allegations that Hurd lacked support for Trump's tariff policies. This move comes after Hurd publicly stated in Congress that he believed the US was engaged in an 'economic war' with China, contradicting Trump's stance on tariffs. Hurd had previously received Trump's endorsement but has since faced backlash from the president and his supporters. The decision to withdraw endorsement highlights the increasingly tense relationship between Trump and some of his party members over policy issues.
