(Reuters] -Father Donald Trump sought to exact revenge on his nine former Republican Congressmen who supported him in November 8 elections. This led two Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment to quit the race.

Adam Kinzinger from Illinois and John Katko from New York were the other U.S. Representatives who decided not to run without any Trump-backed challenger.

REPRESENTATIVE FRED UPSTON

Upton, who has been a Michigan lawmaker in the U.S. House of Representatives for over 25 years, announced Tuesday that he will not run for re-election because Trump supported two candidates to unseat his position. Upton was a critic of Trump’s lies that he lost November 2020 to Joe Biden because of widespread fraud. Upton stated that he voted against impeachment in order to send a “clear message” that America will not accept a president who impedes peaceful power transfer. Initial support for Steve Carra, the Michigan state lawmaker who was trying to challenge Upton came from Trump. After Michigan had redrawn its House districts, Upton was placed in the same congressional district as Republican Representative Bill Huizenga. Trump then endorsed Huizenga. Carra concluded his campaign.

REPRESENTATIVE, ANTHONY GONZALEZ

Two-term U.S. Representative from Ohio, Gonzalez voted in impeach Trump. In September, Gonzalez became Trump’s first target to pull out of a reelection campaign after Trump endorsed a Republican challenger.

The Ohio Republican Party rebuked Gonzalez for his vote to impeach him. They had called for him to step down from Congress in May. Gonzalez stated that the “toxic dynamics within our party” were responsible for his decision to withdraw. Trump has given his endorsement to Max Miller, an ex-aide of the White House for Gonzalez’s place.

Miller, who lost his seat due to redistricting, is running for Republican nomination in order to be the representative of the new 13th District.

REPRESENTATIVE NANY MACE

Mace, the first Republican woman to serve South Carolina as a House member, said shortly that Congress ought to censuring Trump. He was responsible for his support of the attack on the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021.

Mace voted for impeachment, but she has also been an outspoken critic of Trump’s circle. Representative Lauren Boebert, Colorado, suggested in November that a liberal Democratic colleague, Representative Ilhan, was part of the “jihad squad” at Capitol Hill. Boebert was later forgiven, even though Mace criticised her for using racist tropes. Trump supported Katie Arrington, a South Carolina state representative who was challenging Mace to the nomination for the party in the primary on June 14. Trump claimed that Mace’s remarks and his attitude were devastating to her community.

REPRESENTATIVE DAN NEWHOUSE

Washington State’s Republican representative was one of the 10 House Republicans who voted with Democrats to impeach Trump. “A vote against impeachment means that we are able to recognize the unacceptable violence in Washington. Newhouse stated that it was also a vote of condone Trump’s inaction. Trump supported Loren Culp in February to challenge Newhouse’s nomination for Republican nominee.

REPRESENTATIVE TOM RICKE

The South Carolina Republican was supportive of Trump, until Trump asked his supporters Jan. 6, to march at the Capitol and stand for him. After joining Democrats for an impediment vote against Trump, Rice stated that “this utter failure was inexcusable.” Trump endorsed Russell Fry (South Carolina state representative), who is challenging Rice to the Republican nomination.

REPRESENTATIVE PETER MIJER

Meijer was a Grand Rapids native and a former member of Congress. Trump endorsed John Gibbs as the primary challenger to Meijer on November 15, calling him a “fantastic talent who loves our State, our Military and our Vets.” Gibbs was a member of Trump’s government. August 2nd will see the primary.

REPRESENTATIVE LIZ CHEENEY

Cheney was among the most prominent lawmakers of the 10 Republicans elected to impeach Trump. Since 2017, Cheney was a U.S. Representative from Wyoming. She was removed from the role of No. After the impeachment vote, three House Republicans were elected. Cheney’s father, Dick Cheney, was U.S. Vice President from 2001 through 2009. Trump called Cheney disloyal in a September 9 endorsement of Harriet Hageman (Wyoming attorney)

REPRESENTATIVE JAIME HERRERA BUTLER

Washington State’s U.S. Representative voted for Trump to be impeached. She also provided evidence during his Senate trial. Herrera Beutler claimed in a statement that Kevin McCarthy (top House Republican) had spoken to her on Jan. 6. During which hundreds of Trump supporters stormed Capitol, Trump stated, “Well Kevin. I guess these people have more anger about the election than yours.” Trump has supported the bid of Army veteran Joe Kent to unseat Herrera Beutler who has been in Congress from 2011.

SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI

Seven Republican senators voted for Trump’s conviction and his removal from office. Trump was not convicted. Murkowski, who is well-known for her independent streak, was the last of seven Republicans to be up for reelection in this year’s election. Trump has chosen Kelly Tshibaka to be her opponent in the Aug. 16 primary.
