President Donald Trump on Friday re-endorsed Rep. Jeff Hurd and said he’d offered his primary challenger a role in his administration, avoiding a primary battle in the Republican-leaning district that Democrats hope to flip.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he met with Hope Scheppelman, who was seeking to unseat Hurd, and her husband, Steven Scheppelman, to discuss “opportunities to serve our Country” other than running for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
“[T]hey will be leaving the Campaign trail in order to join my Administration, in a capacity to be determined,” Trump wrote.
