Four GOP incumbents lost their primaries to Trump-endorsed candidates, while another four chose not to run for reelection.
Trump-backed Harriet Hageman was victorious over Cheney, who was once the No. 3 Republican in the House before she was removed from the position by members of her party. Three other Trump candidates—Russell Fry, John Gibbs and Joe Kent—successfully defeated Representatives, Peter Meijer of Michigan and Jamie Herrera Beutler of Washington state, respectively.
Only two of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January 2021 won their primary elections this year: Representatives David Valadao of California and Dan Newhouse of Washington. The former president had endorsed Chris Mathys in the race against Valadao and Loren Culp in the race against Newhouse.
In November's general election, Valadao will face Rudy Salas, while Newhouse will run against Doug White. GOP Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and John Katko of New York—neither of whom is returning to Congress next year—appear at a news conference outside the U.S. Capitol on March 11, 2021. Both voted to impeach Donald Trump in 2021.
