"Former GOP Congressman Justin Amash Launches Senate Bid in Michigan"

Former Rep. Justin Amash, a Republican-turned-independent who voted to impeach Trump, has entered Michigan's crowded GOP Senate primary, joining a field that includes two former congressmen and a businessman. Amash, known for his libertarian ideology, left the GOP in 2019 and became a Trump critic. He faces a tight timeline to qualify for the August primary ballot, needing 15,000 verified petition signatures by April 23. His entry adds further complexity to the race, with Mike Rogers seen as a front-runner and Rep. Elissa Slotkin leading the Democratic Senate nomination.
