Former Rep. Jim Nussle, who left the Republican Party almost four years ago, is sounding a new tune following President Donald Trump’s decisive victory.

Nussle, who said in 2021 that “the GOP is NO more and left me and others behind,” is the president and CEO of America’s Credit Unions. Nussle is now “trying to suck up to Trump like a cheap straw,” a Republican strategist told the Washington Reporter. Nussle wrote to Trump urging him “to resist any calls for eliminating the credit union tax exemption just as you did during the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017.”
