Meijer, Republican who impeached Trump, defeated in primary

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), who voted last year to impeach former President Trump, is projected to lose his primary Tuesday to Trump-backed challenger John Gibbs.

Gibbs’s victory is a major win for Trump, who vowed to exact revenge on any Republican who broke with him over his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen or in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Meijer, a first-term congressman, was one of 10 House Republicans who voted last year to impeach the former president for his role in the riot.

Gibbs, a former assistant Housing and Urban Development secretary, won Trump’s endorsement last year. While the former president is certain to celebrate the win as his own victory, it also puts him on the same side as top Democratic officials who sought to boost Gibbs in the race.
