Liz Cheney and the fate of the 10 Republicans who challenged Trump

Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, will face Republican primary voters on Tuesday. Mr. Trump has made it his vengeful mission to force these Republicans out of Congress. And he largely succeeded: Seven was either defeated in the primary races or opted not to race at all. Only two survived their primaries, and Ms. Cheney is the last whose fate has yet to be decided.

Here are the details on how each of these lawmakers fared.

Facing a primary on Tuesday

Wyo. District At-Large

When voting on impeachment, Ms Cheney explained her decision by saying that Mr Trump’s role in the insurgency had caused “death and destruction in our Republic’s most sacred space”. She leaned forcefully in this position for the next 18 months.

Mr. Rice campaigned twice for Mr. Trump. He voted twice for Mr. Trump. When he decided the Capitol riot was inexcusable, his opponent was supported by Mr. Trump. This challenger, Russell Fry, a state legislator, defeated him.

Announced April 5, 2022

Mr. Upton decided to quit Congress after more than 30 years rather than face a Trump-endorsed primary challenger in a negative and costly campaign while facing death threats.

Representative John Katko

New York’s 24th District

Announced January 14, 2022

Mr. Katko’s impeachment vote, as well as his support for other bipartisan bills, has infuriated his party’s right wing. Almost exactly a year after his impeachment vote, Mr. Katko said he would give up a re-election campaign.

Representative Adam Kinzinger

Ill. 16th District

Announced October 29, 2021

Mr. Kinzinger announced his retirement amid death threats from voters and hostility from fellow Republicans. Like Ms. Cheney, he played a prominent role on the committee investigating Mr. Trump’s role in the Capitol riot.

Announced September 16, 2021

Representative Anthony Gonzalez

Ohio’s 16th District

Announced September 16, 2021

Mr. Gonzalez was the first victim of this group when he said in September that he had been inundated with threats, feared for the safety of his wife and children and that he would retire rather than face a fierce primary.

Mr. Newhouse outlasted his Trump-endorsed opponent thanks in large part to an open primary system in Washington in which candidates from each party contest in a single qualifying contest, with the top two voters qualifying for the general election in November. .

Mr. Valadao is the unicorn of this group: Although he called Mr. Trump “without a doubt, a driving force in the catastrophic events” on Capitol Hill, he avoided being personally targeted by the former president.
