Adam Kinzinger, One Of Trump's Most Prominent GOP Critics, Announces Retirement
|
[Daily Caller] Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the most prominent Republican critics of former President Donald Trump, announced his retirement from Congress Friday.
Kinzinger was one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach Trump in January for inciting an attack on the Capitol as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden’s victory. He and Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney are the only Republicans serving on a select committee investigating the events of that day, and the panel has not ruled out subpoenaing Trump to testify before it.
Kinzinger praised his nine Republican colleagues who joined him in impeaching Trump, did not rule out a run for future office. He is expected to continue leading Country First, his political action committee that he formed earlier in 2021 in a bid to lessen Trump’s grip on the GOP.
His announcement also came just hours after Democrats in the Illinois legislature released another congressional map for the next decade. They have complete control over the redistricting process and have weighed how heavily to gerrymander the state’s districts, and the most recent map would have had Kinzinger facing off against fellow Republican Rep. Darin LaHood in one of just three GOP seats.
