President Trump withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Jeff Hurd and backed Hurd’s primary challenger, Hope Scheppelman, after Hurd supported a resolution to repeal tariffs on Canada. Hurd defended his vote as a matter of congressional authority and Colorado’s economic interests.
Trump said he was withdrawing his endorsement of Hurd because of Hurd’s lack of support for the president’s tariffs, and endorsed Scheppelman instead. Hurd was among six House Republicans who joined Democrats to pass a resolution repealing tariffs on Canada. He argued that Congress has primary authority over foreign trade and that the tariff policy harmed people and businesses in Colorado.
Trump criticized Hurd’s vote on social media. The article also reports that the Supreme Court struck down most of Trump’s tariffs, finding that his use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act exceeded his authority, and that Trump then introduced a new 15 percent universal tariff. Hurd and Scheppelman are competing in the June 30 Republican primary for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
