Only one primary battle remains for the 10 House Republicans who supported former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment — and have subsequently been a constant target of his wrath.
While many of the “Impeachment 10” are not up for re-election, it has been an uphill battle for those who are. Trump has backed a number of candidates running primary campaigns against those who voted to impeach the former president.
Rep. Wyoming’s Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the House selection committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack that led to Trump’s impeachment, is in the vote on Tuesday.
Trump backed one of Cheney’s main challengers, Harriet Hagman, last year. At the time, Cheney responded to the endorsement on Twitter: “Here’s a sound bite for you: bring it,” and while her fate in the US House of Representatives is uncertain, she’s been effectively campaigning against the former president ever since.
In the run-up to the August 16 election, see how the “Impeachment 10” fared this mid-cycle.
