In Washington's primaries on Aug. 2, two GOP House members who voted last year to impeach former President Donald Trump will face off against Trump-endorsed challengers.


In the upcoming 3rd Congressional District race, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Washington) will face eight opponents, including Trump's endorsed Joe Kent. A top-two vote-getter wins the election regardless of their party affiliation in the state's top-two primary system.


Six Republicans and one Democrat will challenge Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) in Washington's 4th Congressional District. There is an incumbent governor, Jay Inslee, as well as Trump-backed Loren Culp who lost his bid for the office to incumbent Jay Inslee in the 2020 gubernatorial election.


A primary vote will be held for Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) on Aug. 2; and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Aug. 16. Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) lost his bid in June. Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) won to represent California's 22nd Congressional District.
