Rep. Justin Amash (I-Michigan), a former Republican turned libertarian, declared Monday that he may challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 general election. The congressman shared his intentions after the president claimed in a press briefing Monday that he had “total authority” over the states.
Amash hit back at the president for his false claim.
Amash then tweeted that Americans deserve “another option.”
