Any questions about where Kevin Yoder stands when it comes to President Trump have been cleared up with his full embrace of President Trump’s agenda – voting with him 92 percent of the time – and now palling around on Air Force One after earning the President’s full-throated endorsement. The DCCC released the following statement on Yoder’s full embrace of President Trump:
“Kevin Yoder has gone all in on President Trump,” said DCCC Spokeswoman Rachel Irwin. “Make no mistake, Kevin Yoder is not moderate, and his full embrace of President Trump and the harmful GOP agenda will be a huge political liability in this suburban district that is trending in Democrats’ favor.”

Yoder on board
U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder hopped aboard Air Force One Tuesday morning to join President Donald Trump during his visit to Kansas City.
It’s a sign both of the Trump administration’s commitment to re-electing Yoder this fall and of the Johnson County Republican’s increasing willingness to associate himself with the president’s brand.
His spokesman, C.J. Grover, confirmed in a text message that Yoder was aboard the plane Tuesday morning and that he would be returning to Washington, D.C., Tuesday evening ahead of the House Appropriations Committee’s markup of the Homeland Security budget the following day.
The Kansas congressman chairs the subcommittee that crafted the budget.
Yoder has voted consistently for Trump’s agenda, but has avoided connecting himself directly to the president until recent.
Yoder represents Kansas’ 3rd District, which Democrat Hillary Clinton narrowly won in 2016.
Trump’s visit follows a trip by Vice President Mike Pence earlier this month, which included a fundraiser for Yoder.
