Former Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., has announced his withdrawal from the race to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate. Meijer cited a lack of a clear pathway to victory as the reason for his decision, stating that continuing the campaign would risk a divisive primary that could detract from conservative goals in the November elections.
Meijer, a member of the Meijer supermarket chain family, previously represented Michigan's 3rd Congressional District but lost his re-election bid in the 2022 Republican primary. He was among ten House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump following the events of January 6, 2021.
