Maybe we can get some solid pro-Trump candidates to run in their place

[Swordsmyth]

Rep. Charlie Dent, a moderate Republican from Pennsylvania who has criticized and clashed with President Trump, announced Tuesday that he would resign from the House in May. Dent had already said he would not run for re-election (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/01/02/here-members-congress-retiring-end-2018/997357001/). It’s not clear why the GOP lawmaker decided to vacate his seat early.
