Trump-endorsed Steve Carra picks House district, calls on Fred Upton to drop out

Michigan state Rep. Steve Carra, a Republican congressional candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump, announced he will run in Michigan’s new 4th Congressional District, home to both Republican Reps. Fred Upton and Bill Huizenga, and called on Upton to drop out of the race.

"Southwest Michigan is home to me. I have lived here my whole life. I graduated from Portage Northern High School and Western Michigan University. With the newly announced Congressional districts, I am now running in the 4th district to represent my hometown in Congress,” Carra said in a statement first shared with the Washington Examiner.

“While I look forward to defeating spineless Fred Upton, I am officially calling for him to drop out of the 4th district primary. Michigan demands real conservative leadership to fight the radical left,” Carra said.

Carra last April announced a primary challenge to Upton, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, and scooped up an early endorsement from the former president in September. But redistricting left some uncertainty about whether Carra would still run in the district.

It's likely Fred Upton will retire, since he knows he won't make it through the primary.

And good riddance!

I hope Upton loses. If he does, I will celebrate by drinking the finest elixir known to man...Vernor’s ginger ale (w/milk).

I thought Kate would plump up beyond belief when she had a kid. I just looked up some recent pics of her though and I've got to admit that she looks fantastic, as good as she ever has.

Fred not so much

That “difficult bowel movement” face I’ve observed in other media propagandists. Brian Williams was one of the greatest examples.
