Michigan Rep. John James endorsed former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign on Tuesday. James said at the time that Trump "can't be trusted" and is "not fit to lead." When Trump seemingly called for the "termination" of the US Constitution in December, James condemned Trump in stark terms. "A man who would suspend the Constitution can't be trusted," James said at the time, according to local Michigan news outlet WLNS. Unlike many of the Republicans who have already backed Trump's campaign, James represents a swing district, and is likely to face a tough challenge from Democrats next year.
