Former Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump in 2021, has announced that he’s pulling out of the Republican primary race for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan.

Mr. Meijer made the announcement in an April 26 statement, in which he thanked his supporters and said the “hard reality” is that the fundamentals of the race had changed “significantly” since the launch of his campaign six months ago, when he said he was “confident” in his ability to take back for the GOP a soon-to-be vacant Senate seat occupied by a retiring Democrat.
