Rep. Dan Newhouse, one of the last remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, won't seek re-election

Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., one of the few Republicans in Congress who voted to impeach President Donald Trump, announced Wednesday that he would not seek re-election next year.
In a statement posted to his X account, Newhouse wrote that his decision to retire from Congress "comes with no reservations or remorse, only gratitude for the tremendous opportunity to have represented my home state in Congress."
He added that he looks "forward to this new chapter and way I can continue to serve my community and this great nation," and thanked his family "for their steadfast love and support."
Newhouse has elected in 2014 and is one of the last two remaining House Republicans out of 10 — alongside Rep. David Valadao, of California — who voted to impeach Trump in 2021 over his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. There are only three remaining Republican senators — Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana — who voted to convict Trump.
At the time, Newhouse said he was voting to impeach Trump because "the mob was inflamed by the language and misinformation of the President of the United States."
