Washington state Rep. Dan Newhouse, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump following the Capitol uprising, has qualified for the general election in the state’s 4th congressional district, according to a race call from The Associated Press.
Newhouse will face Democrat Doug White in November’s general election in the heavily Republican district.
Washington’s two-primary system puts all candidates on one ballot and advances the top two voters in the general election, regardless of party.
Newhouse was one of three House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump who was on Tuesday’s ballot. Washington State Congressman Jaime Herrera Beutler Seeks Advancement in 3rd District; this race was not called.
And in Michigan, Rep. Peter Meijer was narrowly beaten by former Trump administration official John Gibbs in that state’s Grand Rapids 3rd District.
As part of his ongoing revenge tour to oust Republicans who voted to impeach him, Trump endorsed Gibbs and challengers Herrera Beutler and Newhouse.
