Shocker: Pro-Trump Impeachment Republican Is Struggling in Reelection Campaign
Townhall.com ^ | 10/19/22 | Rebecca Downs

Posted on 10/20/2022 2:46:36 AM PDT by cotton1706

In then-President Donald Trump's second impeachment, 10 Republicans voted for impeachment articles, and it didn't turn out well for their political future. By the time the trial took place in the Senate, Trump had already left office and Biden had been inaugurated. Of those 10, only two made it out of their primary, including Rep. David Valadao (R-CA). As a Wednesday morning report from Mychael Schnell and Caroline Vakil warned for The Hill, he's "facing a tough battle."

California has a jungle primary and Rep. Valadao didn't even come in first in the June primary, though his second place finish with 25.58 percent of the vote enabled him to advance. Democrat Rudy Salas came in first, way ahead of the Republican, with 45.22 percent of the vote. Valadao was actually not too far ahead of the third place finisher, Republican Chris Mathys, who came in with 23.40 percent.

While Mathys was not backed by Trump, impeachment did complicate the primary, an expert is cited as saying. "I think it definitely made his primary race require more effort maybe than normal," Lisa Bryant, chairwoman of the department of political science at California State University, Fresno, is quoted as saying.

David Valadao will not be returning to the Congress in January.

And if Newhouse survives in Washington, that will mean that 9 out of 10 Impeachment House Republicans will be gone.

And if,as expected, Lisa Murkowski is defeated in November, of the 17 House and Senate members who voted for impeachment or removal, only four will remain in the next Congress: Bill Cassidy, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Dan Newhouse.

The Establishment will be horrified!

That’s okay though the RINO/ establishment/Globalist wing will get OZ to add to their ranks if he wins PA…

So glad we drove out a conservative traitor like Toomey only to be offered an even less conservative, globalist hack and fraud to replace him with…

“...Power hungry illegal alien wife...”

You do realize that Oz was born in Cleveland Ohio to two non-American citizens, i.e. he is an anchor baby. Neither his father or mother are American citizens, both went back to live in Turkey. Were they deported? When Oz became an adult, he joined the Turkish military instead of the USA military. Let that sink in. What kind of American citizen joins a foreign army over their own country? To this day, right this minute, Oz is still a Turkish citizen.

Take that and smoke up your but crack elitist Sean Hannity.

No evidence?

Please. OZ is a fun grabber, believe guns are a health care issue.

His businesses are involved and connected with the WEF.

Has advocated for Trans kids..

These are facts my friend.

Get informed, OZ is a fraud.

Neither of the candidates for PA senate belong anywhere near the Senate.

This is literally an election telling the voters you are getting a crap sandwich, but hey, we’ll let you decide if you want it with or without corn.

Only thing certain about the PA senate race is, regardless of who wins PA and America loses

Yep. One and the same.

Trump endorsed a globalist RINO hack for the PA senate…

Audience booed OZ outright at the Trump rally in Erie when he introduced him..

OZ is to MAGA what McDonald’s is to fine dining.. just because Trump endorsed him doesn’t mean he’s a conservative.

He’s a fraud.. nothing populist about him, let alone MAGA.

Says what will get him votes and that’s it.

Gun grabber, trans kid supporter, businesses involved in the WEF…. Complete and total fraud

See 7..

You think OZ is a conservative, let alone MAGA you are flat out either uninformed, and completely foolish.

PA senate race is a flat out joke. Neither of these turds belong anywhere near the senate.

PA 2022 Senate race, do you want your crap sandwich with or without corn? Because you’re getting a crap sandwich either way.

“David Valadao will not be returning to the Congress in January.”

We’ll see about that.

Even the loony liberals at fivethirtyeight.com concede now that Valadao is actually *slightly* favored to win in November.

His district is D+5, and that’s as much — or more — of a factor in his “struggling” as his cowardly impeachment vote. A traitor like him would be no great loss if he does lose, given that the GOP is allegedly guaranteed to take control of the House in November anyway.

Newhouse in Washington will win re-election very easily. That guy is like a cockroach in the primaries — no matter what we do to try to exterminate him, he always survives, and that includes years when he faces a conservative Republican in the *general* election too.

And I didn’t even mention that he has stated he would have certified the fraudulent 2020 election if he had been in a position to do so.

This guy is a joke.. this entire race is a joke.

As I’ve said, neither of these guys belongs anywhere near the Senate.

Only sure thing about the PA Senate race fo 2022 is... regardless of who wins, it’s a sure than America and PA loses.

Thank you. You’re going to be attacked, though. There are many Oz-loving FReepers. Up until he started his campaign, EVERYthing he stood for was the WRONG thing. I’m not buying his Damascene conversion AT AlL.

And... do we really need another Muslim in DC? Nope.

So why didn’t Trump endorse McCormick or Barnet? Why didn’t MAGA supporters still vote for either of the other candidates in PA regardless of Trumps endorsement? I voted for Barnet FWIW.

"Bill Cassidy, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Dan Newhouse."

Cassidy will be out when he is next up for election. Romney and Collins seem to be safe. I don't know about Newhouse.
