It’s been less than two weeks since Representatives Peter Meijer, Tom Rice and Liz Cheney broke with nearly all of their Republican colleagues in the House and voted to impeach President Donald Trump, but in their home states, the backlash is already growing.
“Trump might be gone, but Trumpism is virtually guaranteed to be a part of the 2022 elections,” said Ken Spain, a former senior official at the National Republican Congressional Committee. “The tectonic plates have shifted within the GOP, and now members are trying to figure out how to straddle the fault lines.
“I am 100 per cent sure that Tom Rice is going to be primaried,” said Ken Richardson, school board chair in South Carolina's Horry County, who is leaning toward running against Mr Rice himself. He said he has had to charge his phone three times a day to keep up with the nonstop calls and texts urging him to enter the race.
Peter Meijer joins then-US Vice President Mike Pence at a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in October 2020.Representative John Katko of Central New York, who was the first GOP lawmaker to back impeachment, is one of the few remaining Republicans who represents a Democratic-leaning district. Some Republicans in his district were outraged by his vote.
Challengers to Ms Cheney, who represents the single at-large Wyoming district, don’t face the same calculation. Anthony Bouchard, a state senator, announced his campaign Wednesday as President Joe Biden was being inaugurated. By Thursday night, he was a guest on Newsmax TV and Laura Ingraham’s program on Fox News.“Liz Cheney’s longtime opposition to President Trump and her most recent vote for impeachment shows just how out-of-touch she is with Wyoming,” Mr Bouchard said in his announcement.
Nancy Pelosi displays a signed article of impeachment against then-President Donald Trump at the US Capitol on January 13, 2021.In New York, Mr Katko has twice survived being the target of Democrats trying to oust him from a Democratic-leaning district.
Good...
These 10 Republicans show they are sane, thinking, logical human beings with morals & scruples who expect more from their leader than vitriol, violence & hatred. Hope they can all 'bring a friend' to the Impeach Convict & Remove45 for EVER party happening soon👍
You reap what you sow, they went against their base do they must pay the price for pandering to the extremist Democrats
As they should , traitors
The only Republicans that won't vote against Trump, will be those who want to join him.
There will be no republican part as we know it if they don't impeach Donald Trump.
Good. Sellout traitors.

Sad news for Grant Denyer as another one of his shows is axed by TenJust days after his surprise defeat on I’m A Celeb, Network Ten has axed Grant Denyer’s game show Celebrity Name Game along with a raft of other local shows including Totally Wild and the AFL-themed WAG drama Playing for Keeps. And it will be replaced with even more vapid, trashy bullshit. Literally all his shows get cancelled. When will ten get the message? He won a gold Logie as a joke ... not because his actually that popular. Harsh but true. There was an AFL-themed WAG drama...! Jeez the barrel was well and truly scraped.
