\n\n“But while Cheney\u2019s loss is particularly high-profile, it is not surprising. Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump<\/a>, only two advanced to the general election, four lost their primaries and four didn\u2019t even try to seek reelection, retiring instead.”
…
“That said, it\u2019s probably not a coincidence<\/a> that both Valadao and Newhouse won in states that use a top-two primary system. In that format, all voters can cast a ballot that includes every candidate, regardless of party, whereas party primaries mostly involve voters who are either registered with that party or generally back it and who are voting only for candidates from one party. Still, Valadao, the only pro-impeachment Republican running who didn\u2019t face a Trump-endorsed challenger, barely edged out<\/a> fellow Republican Chris Mathys, an ardent Trump supporter<\/a>, 26 percent to 23 percent for second place in his top-two primary.1<\/sup><\/a> Newhouse didn\u2019t do much better, essentially tying with the lone Democrat in the race with 25 percent<\/a>.
In fact, not a single pro-impeachment Republican captured a majority of the GOP primary vote. This amounts to an especially weak set of performances for incumbents, who in most cases easily win their primaries.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
