For those who can’t stand an unfinished story<\/a>, Duncan Hunter (R-CA) is no longer a Congressional Representative.<\/p>\n

Rep. Duncan Hunter will officially step down from Congress next week, more than a month after the California Republican pleaded guilty to conspiracy to misuse campaign funds.<\/p>\n

Hunter had previously said he would leave Congress after the holidays. His resignation will take effect Jan. 13, according to a copy of the letter he sent to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday.\u00a0[Politico<\/b><\/a>]<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will be replaced before the 2020 elections this November?<\/p>\n

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) does not have to call a special election because the nomination period has closed and it\u2019s an election year, raising the prospect that the seat could remain vacant for the rest of 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of the 5oth Congressional District deserve their voice in Congress restored,\u201d [Republican former San Diego City Councilman Carl] DeMaio said in a statement. \u201cLeaving the 50th Congressional District vacant for a full year is wholly unacceptable, and I urge Gov. Gavin Newsom to call a Special Election as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As DeMaio will be running for the position, it would seem he’d like to win a special election so that he can be the incumbent in the November election.<\/p>\n

You have to love how\u00a0Politico\u00a0<\/b><\/i>finished this story:<\/p>\n

… Hunter \u2014 one of Trump\u2019s earliest congressional supporters …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One only needs to remember former Representative Chris Collins (R-NY), who plead guilty to insider stock trading and resigned from Congress in similar disgrace, was also the first Congressional member to endorse Trump.<\/p>\n

I know I’ve made this point before, but it seems Trump has really put the stamp of approval on debased behaviors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
