President Trump’s former physician Ronny Jackson is projected to win a seat in Congress, according to NBC News and CNN.

The former White House doctor and Trump’s one-time nominee for veterans affairs secretary will represent Texas’ 13th Congressional District as a Republican.

Jackson served in the White House medical unit under President George W. Bush and was appointed physician to the president under President Barack Obama and President Trump before he was nominated to serve as secretary of veterans affairs in March 2018.

The Navy rear admiral, who famously declared that Trump could live to 200 years old, was forced to withdraw his nomination after allegations of misconduct including drinking on the job and overprescribing drugs — charges he vehemently denied.

In a Trump campaign call last month, Jackson told reporters he was “convinced” that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, 77, does not have the cognitive ability to be commander-in-chief.
