NEW: Justin Amash nixes third-party presidential run

Rep. Justin Amash announced Saturday he would not be running as a third-party candidate in the 2020 presidential election.

"Never-Trumper" Republicans, including former Rep. Joe Walsh — who launched a failed 2020 presidential bid of his own — were concerned Amash would not win but"siphon enough votes" from presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden to"hand the election to Trump."

2nd smartest thing he's ever done

Racist! By not running he is helping those white supremicist deplorables and that racist Trump. That makes Amash a racist too!

I’m not really a supporter of pure trickle-down economics but it’s a damn shame we won’t have a non-Trump option to a Democratic Party who blindly supports Modern Monetary Theory because it‘s convenient. Not that it really matters, of course. NeverTrumper StraightOuttaOptions

Well done clown!

Will he run as a Democrat when they get rid of Joe?

Thank you, Justin Amash. Don’t worry, we’ll get that duck out of the WH.

Good decision. Get behind Biden.

I hope he will announce his support for Joe Biden, and try and get right thinking Republicans to do that too. The health and sanity of the country depends on it

Justin who?

Good

Sounds like the DNC wrote him a big check. Which is probably what he wanted.

Thanks. Now vote blue. justinamash

Justin who?

Maybe David Duke will run and siphon off some tRump votes

What committee chair did Democrats offer him?

This ruse was scrapped because he would have pulled more votes from trump than Biden.

This stuff is merely soap operatic. That is all.

FOOL_NELSON 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂🤡🤔🤡😂🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡😂

Trump probably got to them.

That came as a shock to his 4 supporters.

I look forward to justinamash endorsing JoeBiden so that our democracy will be saved from despotic realDonaldTrump.

Shucks

he woke up to the fact that it would be a waste of money.

👏👏👏👏

Thank god!

Thank you. Now please do not vote for Trump. He is not of the Republican party.

Thank Goodness! SallyAlbright

Smart move. You had built up a lot of cred by leaving the Republican party and speaking out. You used a lot of it up by announcing your intention to run and, likely, to take votes from Biden in the process.

Justin Amash did the country a favor in not running. His running would screwed this country for another 4 yrs. We need unity and faith that we can trust those leading us. We don't need 4 more years of lies and crimes against the people who made this country.

This is good news.

He did the mash

You’ve been bought off.

Who cares about RINOs?

Who

He won’t even get re-elected.

Who?

He should run as Democrat....

Who?

I think his bid for the presidency was just to pad up his Wikipedia entry and his obituary -- 'former presidential candidate' -- a bit. No harm done.

Democrats, this is BAD news! Do you realize that Justin Amash on the Libertarian Party ticket would have PULLED Republican votes from President Trump? Don't be fooled! NeverTrumpers only exist on MSNBC!

Hahahahaha!

Very intelligent man.

I like this guy & YES he made the right decision. I hope he will continue to undermine trump lies at every opportunity.

RRalstonAgile good

Was it the Reade awakening that was the final trigger for Amash’s decision?

Thank goodness!!! Thank you justinamash for putting the country first. We just can’t take any chances that realDonaldTrump get elected again. We know he will cheat anyway he can. After all he is the ultimate LiarInChief IncompetentInChief corrupt

Not hat I would every vote for him over Trump but this shows how soft and gutless he is . Not President material

Good.

A miracle, and bad news for Trump.

Thank you.

What a shame, he had a good shot at 1% of the vote

good call

Trump is setting up the government for a takeover. Just look at who he is pulling into his circle. Putin is very pleased. Divide the social classes, divide the races, divide the government, instigate clashes and violence, declare yourself untouchable, twist the constitution! Done

Good.

Thank you. Republicans need Romney to run.

Thank you

Ah, that's too bad. Good attention grabbing though...

Thank you justinamash. Now let’s put your support behind the democrats.

Thank goodness. What was he thinking?

That Trump check must’ve bounced.

IAmJoeTrudeau I hope this means he’ll endorse Biden.

Great , Vote blue no mater who!

This dummy? He won’t be POTUS? Oh nooooooo.

As it should be

Thank God for small favors.

Ah!! He DOES actually have a few brain cells rattling around up there!

Hallelujah!!!

Thank you for having the maturity to make this decision. And for setting aside your ego.

Thank you justinamash

Who? 😂

Thank you

Thank you justinamash

awww you should've stayed, asshole 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣

squirrel_no Excellent. He got the memo

I wonder how much that cost.

Thank you, justinamash. Wise decision!

When you realize no one likes you

The plan was to take votes away from Biden, but polls showed he'd take more away from Trump.

I hope he consulted with BernieSanders on what to get in exchange, may be a condo in upper peninsula? justinamash ObamaGate DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

This should bump Biden up to a healthy 37%...

justinamash Thank you from a 62 yr old dem who lives in fear of covid and four more yrs of trump. I fear for the complete loss of our rule of law and democracy.

Finally, someone seems to have gotten through to him that if he splits the opposition vote, Trump will be re-elected. Why did this patently obvious fact take so long to penetrate?

Guess Trump is about to grease...I mean promote him.

Please say it ain't so.

Because he figures as long as the Green Party has a candidate the Bernie Bros will go there and Trump has a better chance if he stays out as he was running as a Libertarian.

By order of the DNC (in my opinion) - Why split the VOTE of People with TDS?

Next time. Next time.

He had about as much chance as winning as The Lone Ranger

That is disappointing, we needed More options for candidate s !!

Thank GOD. Now do Jesse Ventura, the other narcissitic, science denying, conspiracy contriving clown who literally works for Russia Today.

In a world where third party candidates wreck more havoc than they should, this is great news! 🇺🇸 (Though, if we could have four viable political parties: Left, Center Left; Center Right, and Right, that would be intriguing). BreakingNews VoteBlue VoteBlueNoMatterWho

When he said childbirth was an obscure medical procedure, I wondered where he came from.

Thank god

Light weight

There is some good news today. Now put your support behind Biden ASAP.

His campaign was very reminiscent of this...

Bought and paid for. 😎👌
