Trump-backed election-denier ousts Republican incumbent. Democrats get blamed

Salon  

A Trump-backed congressional candidate from Michigan ousted U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., who voted to impeach the former president, in the state's general election on GOP primary on Tuesday. John Gibbs, a little-known but ardent election-denier, beat out Meijer to represent Michigan's 3rd Congressional District, with the incumbent officially conceding around 2 a.m. on Wednesday, according to The Detroit Free Press. Shortly after Meijer's defeat, the Republican lawmaker blasted the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for releasing ads that attempted to paint the lawmaker as being "too conservative for West Michigan." Meijer's loss came just after the electoral defeat of Rusty Bowers, the Arizona House Speaker who testified to the select committee about Trump's failed coup attempt, lost his bid for state Senate, CNN reported.
