Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger continues to surprise Republicans. The congressman has been one of Donald Trump’s fiercest critics, one of the few to vote for the creation of the January 6 Committee, and now announced a series of endorsements of Democrats in key states heading into the midterm elections.
While he announced that he will not seek re-election to Congress, the representative will not remain oblivious to the midterms. To set the record straight, he released a list of official endorsements that surprisingly includes many Democrats.
“Now more than ever, it’s critical we elect leaders up and down the ballot who are loyal to the Constitution and willing to be a bulwark for democracy — regardless of their political party affiliation,” Kissinger said.
“We must set partisan politics and ideology aside in order to preserve our nation’s democracy and demand accountability in our leaders,” he added.
