AUTOPSY RESULTS
As the media and politicos of all flavors ruminate on the November election results, one local name repeatedly mentioned to Oakland Confidential as a possibility of getting back into politics is likely on ice. The post mortem will show that former Congressman David Trott (R-Birmingham), who previously represented the 11th District, will likely not be going back to Capital Hill. Trott had mentioned to a few intimates he was considering a run for Congress once again – to represent a district in Naples, Florida, which is where he supposedly makes his primary residence now – but only if Vice President Kamala Harris won. Trott had called on fellow Republicans to support Harris, and was the co-chair of Republicans for Harris, actively endorsing her. There was even speculation he could have a role in her administration. Well, we know how that turned out. 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. Looks like Trott will get his chance to lower his golf handicap instead.
