Shortly after Meijer released the statement, Trump took to Truth Social and congratulated "all Good Republicans" and insisted "the 10 Impeachers are just about gone."
"Peter Meijer, one of the 10 Impeachers of your Favorite President, ME, and someone thought of to have a very good political future, has just withdrawn from the Senate Race in the Great State of Michigan," the former president wrote. "Once he raised his very little and delicate hand to Impeach President Trump, his Political Career was OVER!"
"Last time he lost in the Primary to a nice, but unknown, person, and now he lost to a GREAT Candidate, Mike Rogers, who will easily WIN the Nomination, and go on to WIN the Senate, BIG, in Michigan," Trump added. "Happily, the 10 Impeachers are just about gone."
The two remaining Republicans who voted to impeach Trump that remain in office are Reps. Dan Newhouse of Washington and David Valadao of California.
