Steve Carra is dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination in Michigan’s newly configured 4th Congressional District after former President Donald Trump essentially rescinded his endorsement in favor of incumbent Rep. Bill Huizenga.
Carra plans to announce during a Tuesday news conference that he is instead running for reelection to the Michigan House of Representatives. In an interview late Monday, Carra told the Washington Examiner that Trump’s Michigan emissary, state GOP co-chairman Meshawn Maddock, called him Friday, a few hours before the former president issued a statement publicizing his endorsement of Huizenga, to inform him of the move.
