Most Who Backed Trump Challengers Survived Primaries

“Few House Republicans went against Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential primaries and endorsed one of his challengers. But among those who did and sought reelection, almost all have evaded competitive primaries of their own — or, in some cases, any opposition whatsoever,” the Washington Post reports.

“The results belie the narrative that crossing the famously vindictive Trump can be a political death wish for members of Congress. But the races also played out during a presidential election year in which Trump needs a unified GOP in his rematch against President Biden and may be more preoccupied with his own race and four criminal cases.”
