Michigan GOP Lawmaker Who Voted to Impeach Trump Loses Primary

HeadlineAug 03, 2022

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has won Missouri’s Republican Senate primary, defeating a crowded field including Missouri’s disgraced former Governor Eric Greitens.

In Michigan, Republican Congressmember Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Trump last year, has lost to John Gibbs, who was backed by Trump and has claimed Trump’s loss in the 2020 election was “mathematically impossible.” The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads to help elevate Gibbs’s message as part of what some see as a risky strategy of aiding far-right candidates who might be more vulnerable in the November general election.
