Herrera Beutler conceded this week in her primary against Trump-backed Republican Joe Kent, who squeaked in front of her to claim the second general election spot out of a crowded all-party primary.
In addition to her vote for impeachment, Herrera Beutler revealed details of a phone conversation between House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Trump on January 6 where the former president told McCarthy that the rioters cared more about the election results than the GOP leader did.
Herrera Beutler and her allies vastly outspent Kent, with several super PACs pouring money into the district to help her. Kent’s win means he and Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez will face off in the GOP-leaning district in November.
New York’s 24th District
Rep. John Katko
Katko decided not to run for reelection earlier this year. The ranking member on the Committee on Homeland Security and a former assistant U.S. attorney, Katko voted to impeach Trump because he said allowing the then-president “to incite this attack without consequence is a direct threat to the future of our democracy.”
Katko had a bipartisan reputation and held onto a blue-leaning seat even during good Democratic years over the last decade. His district took in new territory when New York redrew its congressional lines this year, and the campaign to replace him looks set to be a hard-fought battleground campaign.
