The Illinois Republican lawmaker is retiring from the House of Representatives
Monday’s interview suggests he may not run for Senate or governor of his state either, as was previously speculated when he announced he’s stepping down
‘Even if he crushed me, like in a primary, to be able to stand up and call out the garbage is just a necessary thing,’ Kinzinger said of possibly facing Trump
Neither Kinzinger nor Trump have definitely said they’re running in 2024
Kinzinger was censured by the RNC earlier this year for his work on the Democrat-led Capitol riot committee and for criticizing Trump
Illinois’ newly-redrawn Congressional map would also pit him against another incumbent Republican lawmaker, Rep. Darin LaHood
