10 House Republicans Voted to Impeach Trump: Here’s Where They Stand Today

As Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) primary comes Tuesday, the majority of House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time a week before the end of his term in January 2021 have faltered in their reelection.

Rep. Liz Cheney

Several polls show Cheney is behind by double-digits in Wyoming’s GOP primary for the at-large congressional seat, with one showing she’s down about 30 percentage points to Trump-endorsed Republican challenger Harriet Hageman.

After Cheney voted to impeach Trump for a second time, she’s been essentially the face of the Jan. 6 House investigation and has drawn significant condemnation from other Republicans.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler

Last week, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), another Republican who voted to impeach Trump in early 2021, conceded defeat to Republican challenger Joe Kent, who was backed by Trump.

“Ever since I was first elected to this seat I have done my very best to serve my home region and our country,” Beutler said in a statement after her defeat. “Though my campaign came up short this time, I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished together for the place where I was raised and still call home.”

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio), a former NFL wide receiver, said late last year that he wouldn’t seek a third term in Congress. That came several months after he voted to impeach the 45th president.

Gonzalez had drawn significant criticism from Ohio’s Republican Party, who censured him and called for his resignation last year.

Gonzalez “resorted to emotional conclusions that misplaced blame on President Trump, the President of Law and Order and America First,” the GOP’s resolution read. “We believe that Congressman Gonzalez knowingly and willfully violated his oath of office.”
