NEW YORK (AP) — Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Meijer is trailing a primary challenger backed by former President Donald Trump as he and two other Republican U.S. House members who voted to impeach Trump fight to hang onto their seats. The primaries for Meijer, Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse are too early to call. They are the biggest test yet for GOP incumbents who broke with Trump after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a bid to keep him in power. In other races, Rep. Haley Stevens has ousted Rep. Andy Levin from Congress in a Democratic primary in Michigan, and two progressive members of “the Squad” have sailed through their primaries.
