Cook Political’s Dave Wasserman was shocked to see U.S. House Rep Peter Meijer (R-MI) lose his Republican primary to John Gibbs.
Wasserman went on to detail how anti-Trump Republicans are at risk of becoming an endangered species so to speak.
“Meijer is the second pro-impeachment Republican to lose a primary (four others opted to retire). With no realistic primary path for #WYAL Rep. Liz Cheney (R), there will be at most 3/10 pro-impeachment Rs remaining in the House in 2023.
I’ve seen enough: Trump-endorsed John Gibbs (R) defeats pro-impeachment Rep. Peter Meijer (R) in the #MI03 GOP primary and will face Hillary Scholten (D) in November. Rating change: @CookPolitical will be moving #MI03 from Toss Up to Lean D.”
Major primary elections are underway in multiple states including Arizona and Michigan, and Missouri. Trump endorsed Mark Finchem is predicted to have won the primary for Secretary of State as well.
I’ve seen enough: pro-election conspiracy theory state Rep. Mark Finchem (R) wins the GOP primary for #AZSOS and will likely face Adrian Fontes (D) in the fall.
