A candidate who suspended his campaign a month ago, spent no money, and endorsed his own rival won Michigan’s 8th Congressional District GOP primary on Tuesday, handily defeating Amir Hassan, the candidate President Donald Trump endorsed. The victor, Thomas J. Smith, won 50 percent of the vote in the state’s 8th Congressional District, according to the New York Times, while Amir Hassan only had about 33 percent. In a July 16 video, he formally endorsed Al Lemmo, donning an “Al Lemmo for Congress” hat. Trump endorsed Hassan on Truth Social in June, but supporters opposed the move, some with significant anti-Islamic sentiment. Hassan’s campaign website says the congressional candidate “recently reaffirmed his commitment to Christ” and stated that “Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior.”
