Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump who recently announced he would not seek reelection to Congress, has not ruled out launching a long-shot campaign for the White House in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In a Thursday interview with CNN,&nbsp;Kinzinger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/11\/04\/politics\/adam-kinzinger-exit-interview\/index.html\">said<\/a> he is considering potential bids for the U.S. Senate in Illinois or the governor\u2019s mansion. The anti-MAGA lawmaker added that he&nbsp;\u201cdefinitely\u201d isn\u2019t ruling out a 2024 campaign for the highest office in the land.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe key is, how do we restore the honor of the party in the country?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger was one of 10 House Republican members who voted to impeach Trump for \u201cincitement of insurrection\u201d after the January 6 Capitol riot. At the time, the Illinois Republican <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/01\/14\/956621191\/these-are-the-10-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-trump\">accused<\/a> the former president of inciting the riot, explaining, \u201c[I]f these actions \u2014 the Article II branch inciting a deadly insurrection against the Article I branch \u2014 are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Illinois lawmakers, though in agreement with Kinzinger\u2019s anti-Trump stance, are deeply skeptical about his prospects to win either a Senate or gubernatorial bid.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt would be very hard. If you\u2019re a Republican here in our state, it\u2019s not easy unless you embrace Trump. So that\u2019s question number one,\u201d Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) told CNN. \u201cAnd question number two is, do you embrace a lot of the policies that are popular in Illinois?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.3899082568807\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats have &#8220;rewarded&#8221; Republican Adam Kinzinger for his opposition to Trump by redrawing his district map to favor an incumbent Democrat. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/87mq6sGyyi\">https:\/\/t.co\/87mq6sGyyi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1449119604123607047?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m not sure what the path is,\u201d the lawmaker added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-147 Component-p-0-2-138\">Late October, Kinzinger announced he would not seek reelection, saying the \u201ctime is now\u201d to move on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-147 Component-p-0-2-138\">\u201cMy disappointment in the leaders that don\u2019t lead is huge,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-147 Component-p-0-2-138\">Kinzinger hinted at other political plans, saying, \u201cI cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide. I want to make it clear \u2014 this isn\u2019t the end of my political future, but the beginning.\u201d He also noted that he got married recently and that he and his wife are expecting a baby boy in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-147 Component-p-0-2-138\">The announcement came hours after Democrats in Illinois approved&nbsp;<a class href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ap-news-alert-illinois-congress-6b9f458ff2ea30e432cd272929fae1a4\">new congressional district maps<\/a>&nbsp;that put Kinzinger in the same district as GOP Rep. Darin LaHood, a strong supporter of Trump\u2019s who said Friday he plans to seek reelection. The former president\u2019s influence remains strong on GOP voters, and Kinzinger\u2019s criticisms of Trump would have been difficult to overcome in a primary for a district drawn to be heavily Republican.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-147 Component-p-0-2-138\"><em>The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
