News: Rep. Peter Meijer
NEW YORK (AP) — Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Meijer has lost to a primary challenger backed by former President Donald Trump. Two other Republican House members who, like Meijer, voted to impeach Trump are fighting to hang onto their seats. The Associated Press has called John Gibbs the winner over Meijer, while the primaries for Washington state Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse are too early to call. The three races are the biggest test yet for GOP incumbents who broke with Trump after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a bid to keep him in power.
