80 Percent of Pro-Impeachment House Republicans to Exit Congress

The 2021 House impeachment vote of former President Donald Trump was one of the most career-wrecking votes in congressional history, as 80 percent of the pro-impeachment members will exit Congress in 2023.

With Rep. Cheney’s (R-WY) massive loss Tuesday evening in Wyoming, a mere two of the ten pro-impeachment Republicans remain in the House. Only Reps. David Valadao (R-CA) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA) remain. Newhouse hails from a safer red district, while Valadao is running for reelection in a more contested district, where Trump did not endorse anyone in the primary.

Four pro-impeachment Republicans opted to retire and not compete in a GOP primary, which includes Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), Fred Upton (R-MI), and John Katko (R-NY). Another four pro-impeachment members lost their GOP primary: Reps. Peter Meijer (R-MI), Tom Rice (R-SC), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), and Cheney.

With all pro-impeachment House primaries completed, attention will now turn to the Senate, where seven GOP senators voted to impeach Trump: Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Of those seven senators, two are retiring. Only one is running for reelection this year – Murkowski.

Murkowski, who has been in office for 21 years, is in a desperate fight for her political career. On Tuesday’s Alaskan GOP primary, she only finished about 3 percent ahead of Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka. Both Murkowski and Tshibaka qualified in the primary to advance to the general election on November 8.

Fantastic! Bless their hearts.

I really do think that Murkowski is toast. I think a lot of donations are now going to flow to Tshibaka.

[DannyTN]

20% more to go next time.

[Codeflier]

90%. The guy in CA is going to lose to the DEM.

So 80% = 2. I think 2 Congressmen left that voted to impeach President Trump would be a better title.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Charge of the Light Brigade. Were there 2? one was in India(Errol Flynn). The other was in Crimea. Please explain.

Those that are gone are disappointing. It should be 100% of them. Liz won’t even take herself out. I wish Lisa would.

Representatives should represent the interests and views of their constituents, not their own personal animus for another person. I guess the vote of the people still works.

[Maris Crane]

I think 80 percent of 10 is 8.

[FLT-bird]

I think it’ll be more than that. David Valadao is in a +6 Democrat district. He’s likely headed for defeat. I think Newhouse from Washington is the only one of the 10 who will survive.

We’ll have to get him next time.

[LIConFem]

I read it as 80%=8, not 2.

[Dogbert41]

Lesson is I shouldn’t do math anymore. Thanks🤪

That's what pissed me off the most listening to that b!tch on her interview(s). She said something like...I will always do what I think to be right. What the hell!!! These clowns think they are lords and entitled princes and princesses rather than citizens like us simply sent to represent the will and interests of their fellow district citizens.

Too bad it took something this high profile to highlight what should be happening all the time to these swamp dwellers.

[BobL]

Good to see they’re finding new jobs. Hope they’re not angry.

[God luvs America]

Kizinger retired?? Or he was redistricted out by the same rats he helped?

[TheConservativeTejano]

I second that decision. We will never evah forget the scum that tried to impeach President Trump.

[Parmy]

Whether by hook or crook, the powers that be in the 4th District of Washington ran an opposition candidate Sessler in the GOP primary. He effectively split the vote that allowed Newhouse to win the primary. Also, Newhouse spent a lot of money on hit ads against his major rival, Loren Culp.

If Sessler hadn't been on the ticket, Newhouse would have lost.

The question I have is this, "Where did Sessler get the money to buy all those signs that were everywhere?"

Be that as to may, neither my wife, myself or any of our family are going to vote for Newhouse. In our opinion, what he did was to egregious.

We are not holding our noses any more and voting for someone just to be voting for the party.
