PORTAGE, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – While much of the nation is focused on the presidential campaigns in the two-week countdown to the election, races in the U.S. House will also determine whether Congress will move in a conservative or progressive direction.
Republican Congressman John Moolenaar is running for reelection in the 2nd Congressional District against Democrat Michael Lynch. Rep. Tim Walberg faces Democrat Libbi Urban. Incumbent Congressman Bill Huizenga (R), who has served in the U.S. House since 2011, is running against Democrat Jessica Swartz in Michigan’s 4th Congressional District. Right now the House enjoys a Republican majority (220-212), but those seats could flip red or blue on Nov. 5.

Rep. Huizenga appeared on The Steve Gruber Show on Monday morning just a few hours before one of his fundraisers. Special speaker includes Congressman Mike Kelly (R-Pennsylvania), who is the Chair of the Taskforce on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump.
“The Secret Service used to be known as the elite of the elite, [but] now I’m not sure that is the case.” Huizenga told Gruber. “When you’re doing training via Zoom and making sure skin colors and genders match up more than whether you can go kick the crap out of someone trying to kill our president, that’s a problem.”
Kelly’s appearance with Rep. Huizenga comes the same day as the release of the House Task Force’s report on the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The report is a damning indictment of the Secret Service and says “the tragic and shocking events of July 13 were preventable and should not have happened.”
As voters head to the polls, Huizenga said Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to go even farther left than President Joe Biden. “[Her campaign] feels fake because it is fake,” he said. “We haven’t seen the core of who [Harris] is,” he said.
Huizenga continued, “Donald Trump is authentic and real. You may not like it, but you know what you’re getting,” he said.
Huizenga and Kelly will be at the The Air Zoo in Portage from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Monday night.
