House Dems try to sink pro-impeachment Republican in primary [1]

[]

Date: 2022-07-25

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, was already facing a brutal primary next Tuesday — and now Democrats are trying to twist the knife.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee placed a TV ad buy in the Grand Rapids market on Monday morning to meddle in the final days of Meijer’s primary. His Western Michigan district is one of the party’s top offensive targets this election, and Democratic strategists believe if they can boost Meijer’s pro-Trump challenger to victory next week, they will have an easier time this fall trying to flip a seat President Joe Biden carried by nine points in 2020.

Meijer is locked in a battle for survival with John Gibbs, a former Trump administration official who received an endorsement from the former president. The incumbent has vastly outspent his opponent: Meijer dropped $2.1 million on the campaign as of mid-July, compared to Gibbs’ $340,000.
