"She gave the state of Wyoming the middle finger."  "He's a traitor." "We want a real Republican in there."  These are just some of the criticisms that Republicans have lobbed at the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach  former President Donald Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol  on Jan. 6. The criticisms haven't stopped there, either. Trump told  attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference  last month to "get rid of them all." And all but one of these 10  representatives have been publicly rebuked by state or local GOP  officials. In total, nine already face a primary challenger in 2022. But is this opposition real or ... just noise? After all, we're still a long way from the 2022 primaries, which leaves plenty of time for anger surrounding their votes to impeach Trump to fade. The 10 House Republicans who backed impeachment,  including whether they were publicly admonished by state or local  Republican Party committees and whether they have a primary challenger

Liz Cheney of Wyoming. As a part of the House GOP's leadership,  Cheney will have a huge campaign war chest to help with her reelection  bid, but Republican fury over her vote to impeach Trump runs deep: The Wyoming state GOP has censured her, as have more than half of the party's county committees in the state, while her colleagues in D.C. even held a vote on whether to remove her from leadership.

Anger at Cheney could keep burning, too, given her national profile ... For instance, in 2020 an influx of right-wing primary challengers defeated more moderate lawmakers in six state Senate and House districts and mounted major challenges in about a dozen other seats. Those campaigns were largely  backed by conservative groups and Republican leaders who wanted to oust  "Republicans in name only," and the same sentiments could boost Cheney primary challengers  like state Sen. Anthony Bouchard and state Rep. Chuck Gray, a pair of  right-wing state legislators who have already said they'll take on  Cheney.  Next up are Midwestern Reps. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio and Adam  Kinzinger of Illinois, who each have a noteworthy challenger with Trump  ties: Kinzinger in particular has earned a reputation as a Trump critic ... Read more ...
