Donald Trump Jr., implied that he would likely campaign for Republican Representative Justin Amash’s primary opponent in Michigan. “See you soon Justin,” the president’s eldest son tweeted Thursday morning. “I hear Michigan is beautiful during primary season.” Trump Jr.’s comments come after a poll released Tuesday showed Michigan state representative Jim Lower 16 percentage points ahead of Amash among likely Republican primary voters in the state. The poll from Michigan Information & Research Service, taken June 5-9, has Lower with 49 per cent support compared to Amash’s 33 per cent. Donald Trump Jr. suggested he would campaign for Republican Rep. Justin Amash's opponent, Jim Lower, in Michigan's 2020 primary race He told Amash he would see him soon when commenting that 'Michigan is beautiful during primary season' A new Michigan poll shows one of Amash's opponents, Michigan State Rep. Jim Lower, ahead by 16 points. Lower has 49 per cent support from likely Republican primary voters to Amash's 33 per cent The 39-year-old congressman has comfortably held his position as a U.S. representative for Michigan’s 3rd congressional district for four terms, but is now wavering in the polls after he became the first Republican lawmaker to publicly call for Trump’s impeachment. Last month, Amash posted a lengthy Twitter thread that explained his stance, including accusing Attorney General Bill Barr of intentionally misrepresenting Special Council Robert Mueller’s Russia report. 'Contrary to Barr's portrayal, Mueller's report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment,' the congressman tweeted in a thread on May 18. Ahead of releasing the redacted report in mid-April, Barr issued a four-page summary of the 448-page report. He claimed the findings of the probe fully exonerated Trump. Democrats, and Amash, disagreed after they were able to analyze the full text of the report, excluding the 10 per cent that was blacked out. Amash began losing steam from his Republican base in Michigan when last month he became the only Republican lawmaker to call for President Donald Trump's impeachment The Michigan representative held a town hall even in his district a few days after taking his stance on impeachment where he fielded questions related to his analysis of the report many accused Amash of becoming a Democrat when he was elected to be a Republican representative for Michigan's 3rd district Amash has repeatedly stood behind his assertion that it would be appropriate to move forward with impeachment proceedings, siding with more than 50 Democrats in Congress who say the same thing. No other Republican lawmaker has shared Amash’s sentiment. Both Lower and National Guard veteran, Tom Norton, have issues primary challeneges against Amash. The incumbent congressman did not face a Republican challenger in 2018 and won with a margin of 11 percentage points, down from his 22-point margin in 2016. Amash identifies as a libertarian and strict constitutionalist, and some speculate he could consider running for the presidency as an independent libertarian candidate – especially if he were to be primaried in 2020. This week, Amash stepped down from the influential conservative House Freedom Caucus. He told his colleagues at a caucus meeting Monday he didn’t want to be a ‘further distraction’ as he faced backlash within his own party. A new report also reveals that Trump is considering backing Amash's opponent. After Amash made his position clear, Trump called him a 'loser' and 'lightweight' Less than a week after he voiced his support for impeachment, Amash held a town hall style event in Great Falls, Michigan where he faced a crowd of about 800 constituents. Although he fielded questions related to multiple policy issues, the night’s main event focused on his analysis of the Mueller report and his decision that Trump should be impeached. One constituent, wearing a Make America Great Again hat, accused him of becoming a Democrat when he was elected to office as a Republican. Trump has also floated the idea of campaigning for Lower, according to reports. Last month, the president called Amash a ‘loser’ and ‘lightweight’ that was only calling for his impeachment so he could gain notoriety through controversy.
