Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) lost his re-election bid to Trump-endorsed challenger Russell Fry on Tuesday night, according to AP.
Why it matters: Rice is the first House Republican to lose his or her re-election bid to a Republican primary challenger after voting to impeach former President Trump over his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
- Several others, including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the vice chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, are also at risk of losing to Trump-endorsed challengers.
