NEW YORK (AP) — Three Republican U.S. House members who voted to impeach Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 insurrection are being challenged in Tuesday’s primary elections by rivals endorsed by the former president. The primaries for Reps. Peter Meijer, Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse are the biggest test yet for GOP incumbents who broke with Trump after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol last year. Trump has vowed revenge against the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him. In other races Tuesday, two Democratic incumbents in Michigan are competing in a newly drawn congressional district.
