WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois says he will not seek reelection next year. Kinzinger is a critic of Donald Trump who is on the panel investigating the deadly Capitol attack.
The military veteran was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, and he is the second to announce he would not seek reelection.
Trump crowed in response: "2 down, 8 to go!"
Kinzinger announced his decision in a video early Friday, saying the "time is now" to move on after nearly a decade in Congress. He also hinted at other political plans.
