GOP Trump Critic Rep. Adam Kinzinger Won't Seek Reelection
Newsy
The Republican has been increasingly critical of his own party since a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a critic of Donald Trump's who is on the panel investigating the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack by the former president's supporters, announced Friday that he will not seek reelection next year.
The military veteran, who has represented his northern Illinois congressional district since 2013, was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol. Kinzinger joins GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio as one of the 10 who have decided to bow out of Congress.
The Illinois Republican announced his decision in a video, saying the "time is now" to move on. "My disappointment in the leaders that don't lead is huge," he said.
