Two of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last year face Trump-endorsed challengers on Aug. 2 in the Washington state primaries in their quest to stay in Congress.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) is set to face eight challengers, including the Trump-endorsed Joe Kent, to represent Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. The state’s top-two primary system means that the top two vote-getters will advance to the general election in November regardless of party affiliation.
