Special counsel Jack \u200dSmith brought four new charges against the former president, \u200bincluding\u200c conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding,\u200b and conspiracy against rights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>High-Profile Indictment Reignites Election Controversy<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-indicted-what-jan-6-indictment-means-for-two-remaining-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-former-president\/\" title=\"Jan. 6 indictment implications for remaining Republicans who voted to impeach Trump.\">high-profile indictment<\/a> has the potential to renew feelings surrounding the 2020 presidential election, the breach of\u200d the Capitol, and the fallout of both.<\/p>\n<h3>Surviving the Primary Challenges<\/h3>\n<p>Following Jan.\u2062 6, 2021, \u206310 House Republicans voted\u200c to impeach Trump for &#8220;incitement of insurrection.&#8221; These Republicans included Reps. Liz \u200cCheney\u2064 (WY), Tom Rice (SC), Dan Newhouse (WA), Adam Kinzinger (IL), Anthony Gonzalez (OH), Fred Upton (MI), Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA), Peter Meijer \u2062(MI), John Katko (NY), and David Valadao (CA).<\/p>\n<p>Most of the representatives later announced they wouldn&#8217;t seek reelection in the 2022 midterm elections. Those who did were challenged by Trump-supporting opponents. Only two\u200b survived those primary challenges and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-cheri-bustos-diverts-post-office-aid-cash-to-own-campaign\/\" title=\"Dem Cheri Bustos Diverts Post Office Aid Cash to Own Campaign\">won reelection<\/a>: Newhouse and Valadao.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-Trump Era Dominated by Fallout<\/h2>\n<p>Despite Trump being out of office, the years since his departure have been dominated \u2064by the aftermath of his actions following the 2020\u200b election, as well as the discovery of \u200bclassified documents at his\u200d Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The former president&#8217;s choice to enter\u200b the 2024 contest for president further established\u200c his prominence in politics.<\/p>\n<h3>Primary Challenges \u2064Looming<\/h3>\n<p>Newhouse won handily\u2062 against\u2062 his Democratic opponent in 2022, with two-thirds of the vote. However, in the state&#8217;s nonpartisan primary, he faced several Republican challengers, one of whom \u200dwas within 6,000 votes of him. In 2024, he faces a primary challenge from Jerrod Sessler, who says he was\u200b in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is too quiet when we need him to be vocal &#038; too proud to admit he made a mistake. [Newhouse] has lost trust with the people of Central Washington,&#8221; \u2062Sessler posted on social media, campaigning \u2062on his opponent&#8217;s impeachment vote.<\/p>\n<p>Valadao&#8217;s district in California is more competitive between Democrats and Republicans. Despite surviving the primary, the California Republican only beat his Democratic\u200b opponent in 2022 by \u200droughly 3,000 votes. The \u2064same Democratic challenger, Rudy Salas, is challenging him again. Salas is a centrist Democrat and touts himself as such to voters in the district,\u2063 explaining that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">supports law enforcement<\/a> \u2064and has stood up to the Democratic Party in California when necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Valadao&#8217;s seat is rated as &#8220;lean Republican&#8221; by the Cook Political Report.<\/p>\n<h2>Challenges Ahead in the 2024 Primary<\/h2>\n<p>The congressmen\u2063 could run into\u2062 trouble in the 2024 primary, given that approval \u2062for \u2063the Jan. 6 Capitol \u200criot has increased since 2021, according to an Economist\/YouGov poll from January. Disapproval for the event was highest directly after, at 81% among all adult citizens. Two years later, it \u2064has fallen to 64%. Approval increased from 9% to 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Further, strong\u2062 disapproval of the riot and breach of\u2063 the Capitol has decreased across party affiliations. More than\u200c half \u2062of Republicans initially disapproved strongly. In \u20642023, that number fell\u2064 to 28%. Strong disapproval among independents also decreased by double digits.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Newhouse nor Valadao has released statements \u2062on the latest indictments of Trump.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>indicted former President Donald Trump for his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
