A bad night for California progressives -- and Donald Trump

Five of the 35 House Republicans who voted to establish a Jan. 6 Commission faced primaries on Tuesday. Trump vowed to exact revenge on all of them. How’d they fare?

In Iowa, Rep. MARIANNETTE MILLER-MEEKS ran uncontested.

In South Dakota, Rep. DUSTY JOHNSON won with almost 59% of the vote.

In New Jersey, Rep. CHRIS SMITH won with 58% of the vote.

In Mississippi, a 50% threshold state, Rep. MICHAEL GUEST was forced into a runoff against a MAGA opponent who attacked his vote for the commission. Trump did not endorse in the race. Will he enter the fray before the June 28 runoff?

In California, where all candidates regardless of party run in the same primary, Rep. DAVID VALADAO, who also voted to impeach Trump, looks likely to advance to the general election, though there are still a lot of votes left to count. (The Democrats’ strategy of spending money on ads to boost a more Trump-aligned Republican who they thought would be easier to beat seems to have come up short.)
