Newhouse is a rare primary success story in this group, edging out a flurry of competitors grasping for his seat and setting himself up for reelection in a deep-red district.

Newhouse outspent all other candidates in a fractured eight-person race, with every candidate appearing on the same ballot and the top two advancing to the general election regardless of party. He finished several points ahead of Trump-endorsed Loren Culp, a former candidate for governor.

Newhouse also has a background in the agriculture industry, and used that to his advantage in the rural district to distinguish himself from the impeachment vote.

South Carolina’s 7th District

Rep. Tom Rice

The soft-spoken five-term congressman lost his reelection bid in the June GOP primary, falling to Trump-endorsed state legislator Russell Fry.

Rice had comfortably held his deep-red seat since it was drawn in 2012. But Fry captured a majority of the primary vote after Rice’s impeachment decision, campaigning against Rice’s vote and sinking the incumbent to less than a quarter of Republican support. Trump even showed up in person to campaign against Rice, who was a staunch supporter of the former president until the insurrection at the Capitol.

Rice has told POLITICO that he and his family have received death threats since the vote, but he doesn’t regret it.

Michigan’s 6th District

Rep. Fred Upton

One of the longest-tenured members of Congress — and the only one to vote to impeach two different presidents — opted for retirement instead of running for another term in 2022.

Upton voted to charge then-President Bill Clinton in 1998 and then to impeach Trump after the Capitol insurrection. He was first elected in 1986 and largely won reelection easily since then, though the district was closely divided at the presidential level in 2020. Trump endorsed a Republican state legislator, Steve Carra, to go up against Upton in 2022 — but the decision was preempted by Michigan’s redistricting, which shifted the map in Upton’s home region, and then by Upton’s move to retire.
