Three House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, two vocal progressive Democrats in a bloc called 'The Squad,' and two Democratic incumbents seeking the same Michigan district all face the voters Tuesday — a busy day of primaries spanning five states. Trump endorsed candidates challenging Rep. Peter Meijer in Michigan and Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse in Washington state. They are among the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol.
