There’s virtually zero chance of beating a sitting Speaker in primary. It would be nice in this case, but I would guess it’s never happened.

Foley was beaten in a general election, not a primary. It’s not uncommon to defeat speakers in the general election, since they often take positions on national issues that directly oppose local positions.
