5 Republicans Who Voted For Jan 6 Commission Face Primaries Tomorrow

The next tranche of midterm primaries take place in Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma, and Utah tomorrow.

• The key theme of the day will be the role of the January 6 committee in shaping the future of the GOP. There will be five of the 35 House Republicans who voted for the establishment of the January 6 Commission on the ballot.
• Rep. Blake D. Moore (R-UT), Rep. Stephanie Bice (OK), Rep. John Curtis (R-UT), Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), and Rep Michael Guest (R-MI) will have a runoff with Michael Cassidy.
• Cassidy said in a campaign ad: “Tuesday’s Republican primary isn’t just a choice between Congressman Guest and myself, it’s your chance to say ‘no’ to the Jan. 6 commission that Guest voted for.”
• So far, the implications for backing the January 6 Commission are hard to quantify. Of the 35, Two have lost primary challenges, nine retired or resigned, and 12 have won or advanced from their primaries.
• Certainly, the January 6 Commission is featuring on the campaign trail and commission-supporting incumbents are facing grueling reelection bids.
• The Washington Post writes: "In Illinois, a Republican congresswoman says her GOP colleague and rival “stabbed President Trump in the back.” In Mississippi, an insurgent conservative suggested his House Republican opponent should apologize. And in Utah, a candidate running to the right of a Republican member says his adversary “caved to the radical left.”
