NEW: Republican congressman Mark Meadows, a top ally to President Donald Trump, said Thursday that he won't seek reelection
RALEIGH, N.C. — Republican congressman Mark Meadows, a top ally to President Donald Trump, said Thursday that he won't seek reelection.
“My work with President Trump and his administration is only beginning. This President has accomplished incredible results for the country in just three years, and I’m fully committed to staying in the fight with him and his team to build on those successes and deliver on his promises for the years to come," Meadows said in the statement. “I’ve always said Congress is a temporary job, but the fight to return Washington, DC to its rightful owner, We The People, has only just begun.
In 2015, Meadows stunned his Republican colleagues by filing a motion to oust the powerful GOP House Speaker John Boehner, which eventually led to Boehner's resignation. At the time, the Freedom Caucus was a solid bloc of conservative lawmakers that wielded considerable clout in the House, often thwarting the GOP leadership.
"There was no stronger advocate and no better friend than Elijah Cummings," Meadows tweeted after his death.
