Rep. Dan Newhouse is the projected winner of his primary in Washington’s 4th District, but Republican colleague Jaime Herrera Beutler’s lead over a challenger backed by former President Donald Trump has narrowed significantly in the state’s 3rd District as votes from Tuesday continue to be tallied.
Other races called Friday night by The Associated Press showed Democratic Rep. Kim Schrier will face Republican lawyer-businessman Matt Larkin in Washington’s 8th District, while Marine veteran Kelly Cooper will face Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton in Arizona’s 4th District.
Newhouse and Herrera Beutler were among the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol in 2021, and the former president urged supporters to defeat them this year. One other impeachment supporter, Rep. Peter Meijer, was defeated in Tuesday’s primary in Michigan.
