NEW YORK (AP) — Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Meijer has conceded to a primary challenger backed by former President Donald Trump. The Associated Press has not yet called the race. Two other Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump are fighting to hang onto their seats. The primaries for Washington state Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse are also too early to call. The three races 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.
