2016 Republican presidential candidate John Kasich (R) sparked speculation when he suggested a “prominent Congressman is gonna come out” and endorse presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Speaking with CNN host Wolf Blitzer over the weekend, Kasich also said he believes there will be a “significant” number of Republicans who will toss their support behind Biden.
After Kasich’s remarks, it drew speculation of who the Congressmember is. While Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) is a Libertarian, The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel pondered if it is Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) or Amash.
However, Amash did not stay silent as he slapped down that speculation.
“It’s not me,” Amash responded on Twitter.
He added, “To be extra clear, I do not support Donald Trump.”
Amash has been critical of the president, and left the Republican Party in 2019.
The lawmaker continued to say that he will be voting for Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen.
