President Donald Trump distanced himself from embattled Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), who lost his Republican primary to former news anchor Ryan Elijah Tuesday night.

Mills is under a House Ethics Committee investigation over allegations of domestic violence and campaign finance law violations. Fellow Florida Republicans in the House, including Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Haridopolos, endorsed Elijah’s primary challenge against Mills while Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) refused to back the incumbent.
