Liz Cheney and the Fate of the 10 Republicans Who Defied Trump

Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump over the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, will face Republican primary voters on Tuesday. Mr. Trump made it his vengeful mission to force these Republicans out of Congress. And he has largely been successful: Seven have either been defeated in primary races or chose not to run again at all. Only two have survived their primaries, and Ms. Cheney is the last whose fate is yet to be decided.

Here are the details about how each of those lawmakers have fared.

When it came time to vote on impeachment, Ms. Cheney explained her decision by saying Mr. Trump’s role in the insurrection caused “death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic.” She forcefully leaned into that position for the next 18 months.

The Three Who Lost Their Primaries

Mr. Rice campaigned twice for Mr. Trump. He voted twice for Mr. Trump. When he decided that the Capitol riot was inexcusable, his opponent was endorsed by Mr. Trump. That challenger, Russell Fry, a state lawmaker, defeated him.

The Four Who Will Retire

Mr. Upton decided to walk away from Congress after more than 30 years rather than face a Trump-endorsed primary challenger in a negative, expensive campaign while enduring death threats.

Mr. Katko’s impeachment vote, plus his support for other bipartisan bills, infuriated the right wing of his party. Almost exactly one year after his impeachment vote, Mr. Katko said he would forgo a re-election campaign.

Ill. 16th District

Announced Oct. 29, 2021

Mr. Kinzinger announced his retirement amid death threats from voters and hostility from Republican colleagues. Like Ms. Cheney, he has taken a front-and-center role on the committee investigating Mr. Trump’s role in the Capitol riot.

Announced Sept. 16, 2021

Ohio 16th District

Announced Sept. 16, 2021

Mr. Gonzalez was the first casualty of this group when he said in September that he had been deluged with threats, feared for the safety of his wife and children, and would retire rather than face a ferocious primary.

The Two Still Standing

Mr. Newhouse outlasted his Trump-endorsed opponent thanks largely to an open primary system in Washington in which candidates of every party run in a single qualifying contest, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the general election in November.

Mr. Valadao is the unicorn of this bunch: Despite calling Mr. Trump “without question, a driving force in the catastrophic events” at the Capitol, he avoided being personally targeted by the former president.
