MUSINGS ABOUT TROTT
We’ve noted that former Congressman David Trott (R-Birmingham) is giving serious thought to running again for Congress – to represent a district in Naples, Florida, which is where he supposedly makes his primary residence now. Trott, who grew up and has lived in Birmingham and Bloomfield his entire life, grew disenfranchised with his life in Congress as “one of 435,” after being a top bankruptcy and real estate attorney, along with his growing disdain for former President Donald Trump. Rumors have also spread that “it was time to come home” and keep the home fires burning. A political friend wonders what has changed besides the state affiliation. Washington Monthly has also put Trott’s name in play as a possible Secretary of Commerce in a potential Harris administration, after the lifelong Republican endorsed Kamala Harris for president before the Democratic National Convention. She has said she would be open to having Republicans in her cabinet. Locals who know Trott acknowledge he’d be “a great addition” to her administration. As for another run for Congress, one Republican politico said he’s not holding his breath. “Because he endorsed Harris, and he’d be running in redder-than-red Florida, he does not have a chance in Naples.” We’re eager to see where Trott lands – or if he sticks to golf and yoga
