Rep. Bill Huizenga wins sixth term in 2nd District, predicts Trump victory

In the United States 2nd Congressional District, voters on Tuesday re-elected Representative and Republican Bill Huizenga of Michigan over Democrat Brian Berghoef.

Multiple media outlets called the election shortly after midnight, with Huizenga winning the election by roughly two-thirds of the vote as of early Wednesday morning according to polling data.

Moments after learning of his victory, Congressman Huizenga made a prediction on the Presidential race outcome.

Impeachment, and this constant harassing, and this disinformation and the distortions that were happening…I am hopeful that people realize that if he is re-elected…it is time to move forward.”

The win Tuesday earns Congressman Huizenga a sixth term in the United States House of Representatives. He called serving the 2nd District the 'most humbling thing I've ever done in my life,'
