一名密歇根州共和党人此前暂停竞选活动、背书了一名对手，最终仍赢得了初选，如今他重返竞选赛道，并承诺将向民主党众议员克里斯汀·麦克唐纳·里夫特发起攻势。
汤姆·史密斯周三现身马科姆县的共和党团结早午餐会，他宣布将“参选”密歇根州第8国会选区，并告诉共和党活动人士，他需要他们的帮助来击败里夫特。史密斯未回复福克斯新闻数字频道关于他是否将恢复竞选活动的问询。
“我是汤姆·史密斯，我将参选第8国会选区，击败共产党员里夫特，”史密斯在马科姆县的共和党团结早午餐会上说道，“为此，我需要你们的帮助。”

与此同时，据报道史密斯在给美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的一份声明中表示，他“谦卑且荣幸”能在11月的密歇根州第8国会选区大选中代表共和党迎战民主党人。
“我期待与议长约翰逊及整个共和党团队合作，扩大我们在众议院的多数席位，推进特朗普总统的美国优先议程，为工薪家庭降低生活成本，让美国再次回归可负担的状态，”史密斯说道。

史密斯上月退选后，将支持投向了他在本次竞选中的竞争者阿尔·莱莫，后者在周二的共和党初选中位列第三，仅次于托马斯和特朗普支持的候选人阿米尔·哈桑。
哈桑以较大劣势输给托马斯，周三他在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，承认败选并表示“没有任何借口”。

“昨晚我未能胜出，我不找任何借口，这是一场艰难的竞选，”哈桑在这段似乎是在车内录制的视频中说道，“我知道上帝为我预备了更好的安排——即便我现在看不到、也无法理解。”
随后他祝贺了自己的对手，告诉支持者他“期待再次与[他们]相聚”，并表示尽管败选，“现在仍有机会拿下第8选区”。

A Michigan Republican who suspended his campaign, endorsed one of his opponents and then won the primary anyway is back on the trail — and promising to take the fight to Democratic Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet.
Tom Smith surfaced at a GOP unity brunch in Macomb County on Wednesday, where he declared that he was “running” for Michigan’s 8th Congressional District and told Republican activists he would need their help to unseat Rivet. Smith did not return Fox News Digital’s inquiries about whether he would be resuming his campaign.
“My name is Tom Smith, and I’m running for the 8th Congressional District to unseat communist comrade Rivet,” Smith said at a Republican unity brunch in Macomb County. “And I’ll need your help to do it.”

Meanwhile, in a statement to CNN, Smith reportedly said he was “humbled and honored” to be chosen to take the fight to Democrats in the November general election for Michigan’s 8th Congressional District.
“I look forward to working with Speaker Johnson and the entire Republican team to expand our House majority and advance President Trump’s America First agenda to lower costs for working families and make America affordable again,” Smith said.

After dropping out of the race last month, Smith put his support behind his contender in the race, Al Lemmo, who finished third in Tuesday’s GOP primary behind Thomas and Trump-backed candidate Amir Hassan.
Hassan came in second to Thomas by a substantial margin, putting out a video posted to social media on Wednesday after his defeat declaring there were “no excuses.”

“I fell short last night. I make no excuse. It was a tough race,” Hassan said in the video, which appeared to be recorded from his car. “I know what God has in store for me – something greater, even if I can’t see it right now and don’t understand.”
He subsequently congratulated his opponents, told his supporters he “looked forward to seeing [them] again,” and said that despite his loss, “it’s still time to flip the eighth.”
