GOP Rep Who Voted To Impeach Trump Wins Race

The New York Times reports:

Rep. David Valadao, Republican of California, won re-election on Monday, according to The Associated Press, managing to survive politically after his vote to impeach former President Donald J. Trump, a move that cost some of his Republican colleagues their seats.

Mr. Valadao defeated Rudy Salas, a Democratic state assemblyman, in a competitive district in the Central Valley that became more difficult for Republicans after newly drawn boundaries tilted it more to the left.

The victory by Mr. Valadao puts him in rare company alongside Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington. They are the only two House Republicans — out of 10 in all — who will remain in Congress after voting to impeach Mr. Trump in the wake of the Capitol riot.
