Here\u2019s the latest on each:<\/p>\n<p><strong>CA-21<\/strong>: Republican leaders in Fresno County\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/california\/article248507730.html\">are enraged with Rep. David Valadao<\/a>, with the local party\u2019s chair saying his organization wouldn\u2019t support the congressman \u201cif the election were held today.\u201d But Valadao is at least somewhat insulated thanks to California\u2019s top-two primary system, which makes it exceedingly hard for partisans to oust incumbents in a primary since they\u2019d have to finish\u00a0<em>third<\/em>\u00a0to miss out on the November general election\u2014something that\u2019s never happened in a congressional race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MI-03<\/strong>: Army National Guard veteran Tom Norton, who unsuccessfully sought the GOP nod in Michigan\u2019s 3rd District last year when it was an open seat last year, is running against Rep. Peter Meijer once again.

His Twitter feed is filled\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForNorton\/status\/1352248433319542784\">with remarks like<\/a>, \u201cIf there is no such thing as gender, how can @KamalaHarris be a historic female?\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForNorton\/status\/1351520780820107265\">and<\/a>\u00a0\u201cIf your gay go be gay that is your right.

John Katko, though there\u2019s been no real talk of a primary challenge yet. However, Katko was already on thin ice with the Conservative Party, whom he infuriated last cycle\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.syracuse.com\/news\/2020\/03\/how-rep-john-katko-survived-a-conservative-party-uprising.html\">when he cosponsored a bill<\/a>\u00a0that condemned Trump\u2019s ban on transgender Americans serving in the armed forces. Some (but not all) of the damage was later repaired, but loss of Conservative support could prove very dangerous: In 2018, Katko defeated Democrat Dana Balter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourcampaigns.com\/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=832988\">by 13,694 votes<\/a>\u00a0while earning 16,972 votes on the Conservative Party line. New York\u2019s 24th is one of just two districts Joe Biden won on this list (along with California\u2019s 21st), so defections on Katko\u2019s right flank could cause him serious trouble in the general election as much as in a primary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OH-16<\/strong>: Former state Rep.

Tom Rice, but now a third is threatening to enter the fray. Former NYPD officer John Cummings, who raised $11 million in a futile bid against AOC last year,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/politicoalex\/status\/1352666316298137600\">is reportedly thinking about<\/a>\u00a0taking his grift show down South for a potential primary bid. Rice may be the most vulnerable Republican on this list because South Carolina, alone among these nine states, requires runoffs if no candidate secures a majority, meaning Rice can\u2019t pin his hopes of survival on winning renomination with a mere plurality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WA-03, WA-04<\/strong>: Republican leaders in Washington\u2019s 3rd and 4th Districts\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokanepublicradio.org\/post\/whats-next-dan-newhouse-and-jaime-herrera-beutler-after-they-voted-impeach-trump#stream\/0\">are hopping mad<\/a>\u00a0and say they expect both Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse to face primary challenges, though no names have emerged yet. However, like Valadao, both enjoy a measure of protection thanks to Washington\u2019s top-two primary system, which works just like California\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WY-AL<\/strong>: Politico reports that Air Force veteran Bryan Miller\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/01\/21\/trump-revenge-gop-impeachment-backers-461189\">is \u201cexpected\u201d to run<\/a>\u00a0against Rep.
