Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Aug. 16 became the eighth of 10 Republicans who voted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s impeachment to either retire or be defeated by party rivals endorsed by the former president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cheney, one of Trump\u2019s most vociferous critics, was defeated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-wyoming\">Wyoming<\/a>\u2019s Aug. 16 Republican primary for the state\u2019s lone congressional seat by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-harriet-hageman\">Harriet Hageman<\/a>, a Cheyenne natural resources attorney.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cheney joins four GOP incumbents of the 10 Republican House members who voted for Trump\u2019s impeachment to have their renominations canceled by their constituents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) was defeated by Trump-backed John Gibbs; Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) was trounced by more than 25 percentage points by Trump-endorsed state Rep. Russell Fry; and Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) lost a narrow election to Joe Kent, who was supported by Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The only two to advance to the general election in primary battles are Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) and Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Four retired rather than run in 2022: Reps. Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Fred Upton (R-Mich.), and Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.)<\/p>\n<p> A Dozen Incumbents Defeated <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Of the 12 congressional incumbents whose reelection bids have been short-circuited by primary rivals, five fell to a fellow incumbent after post 2020 Census redistricting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Three are Democrats: Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich), who lost to Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich); Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-Ga.), who was defeated by Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.); and Rep. Marie Newman (D-Ill.) who was bounced from office by Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ga.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Two incumbent-on-incumbent casualties are Republican reps who lost to Trump-backed reps: Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) defeated Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) and Rep. Alex Mooney (R-W. Va.) swept past Rep. David McKinley (R-W. Va.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Three sitting congressional reps were defeated by challengers in races not directly influenced by endorsements from the former president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Rep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHEYENNE, Wyo.\u2014Three-term Rep.
