The next Congress will include two House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, with NBC News projecting that Reps. David Valadao of California and Dan Newhouse of Washington have won re-election.
NBC News projected Valadao as the victor Tuesday evening in his Central Valley district, where he won a close rematch against Democratic former state legislator Rudy Salas.
Valadao is the lone House Republican who voted to impeach Trump who has not drawn Trump’s wrath in the form of an endorsement against him, although Valadao has faced challenges from his right since his impeachment vote.
But he has fended off those challenges thanks in part to California’s top-two primary system, in which candidates from all parties compete on the same primary ballot and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.
