Rep. Peter Meijer becomes second House Republican who voted for Trump impeachment to lose primary
CNN
Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last year, has lost to a fervent election denier running with Trump's support, CNN projected early Wednesday.
Republicans in Michigan and Arizona -- two states at the center of Trump's 2020 election denial campaign -- voted on Tuesday in primaries for crucial federal and state contests as the shape of the 2022 midterms comes into focus less than a hundred days from Election Day.
Trump's pick will win the GOP gubernatorial nod in Michigan, CNN projects. In Arizona, local election officials were still counting votes to determine whether a slate of statewide candidates who were endorsed by Trump and promoted his lies about election fraud won their Republican primaries. But one significant loss so far was that of state House Speaker Rusty Bowers, who delivered emotional testimony before the House January 6 committee about his resolve in the face of enormous pressure to overturn the 2020 results. He'll lose a GOP state Senate primary, CNN projected early Wednesday.

President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.

Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
