Jeff Hurd after previously withdrawing his support over Hurd\u2019s vote to repeal tariffs on Canada. In a Truth Social post, Trump saeid he met with Hope Scheppelman, Hurd\u2019s primary challenger, to discuss opportunities to serve beyond congress and announced that Scheppelman and her husband will suspend their house campaign to join teh Trump administration in a capacity to be determined. Trump declared he will fully back Hurd\u2019s reelection and framed the move as aligned with shared goals such as securing the border, energy dominance, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >helping working families<\/a>. Hurd thanked the president and said he will continue to represent Colorado\u2019s 3rd District and run a serious campaign to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-poll-predicts-disaster-for-democrats-a-week-before-midterms\/\" title=\"New Poll Predicts Disaster For Democrats A Week Before Midterms\">earn voters\u2019 support<\/a>.The decision follows Trump\u2019s earlier withdrawal of his endorsement after Hurd and five other Republicans voted with Democrats to repeal the 35% tariffs on Canada, with Trump warning of consequences for primary races.The other GOP defectors named include Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, kevin Kiley, Thomas Massie, and Dan Newhouse, with Bac on and Newhouse not seeking reelection in 2026 and the others having varying records with Trump\u2019s endorsement.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump re-endorses Jeff Hurd after yanking support over tariff repeal vote<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2536790\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> re-endorsed Rep.
