Trump rages against congressman while endorsing Palm Beach candidate for Congress

Trump raged against Congressman Jamie Raskin (D- MD) while endorsing a congressional candidate from Palm Beach. In a lengthy Truth Social post about Raskin, Trump called him a "loser in life," adding that Republican lawmakers should "EXPEL THE BUM." He wrote that Raskin "failed" to impeach him during his first term. "Congress can never be great with people like this, who suffer massively from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)," Trump wrote. He was agreeing with conservative pundit Mark Levin, who made the same case for the GOP to "expel" Raskin in an earlier post. Raskin responded on MS NOW, saying Trump "must have nightmares" about the impeachment to have written the post. A few minutes after the Raskin post, Trump endorsed Palm Beach County Mayor Sara Baxter, who earlier this week dropped out of a county commission race to run for Congress. Baxter is running for the redrawn 22nd Congressional District in Florida. "I would rather have her stay on the Palm Beach County Commission (where so many important things are happening!), than run for Congress," Trump wrote. Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club and primary residence, is in Palm Beach. He's been registered to vote there since 2019.
