Republican Who Voted To Impeach Trump Announces Retirement-llllllllllll
Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), one of the few remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump after the January 6 protests, announced Wednesday that he will not seek reelection in 2026, marking the end of a three-decade political career in Washington state and Congress.
“I am announcing today that I will not seek reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives,” Newhouse said in a written statement. “Serving the Fourth District of Washington has been the honor of my life, and this decision comes with no reservations or remorse, only gratitude for the tremendous opportunity to have represented my home state in Congress.”
Newhouse went on to thank his constituents and his colleagues “on both sides of the aisle,” reflecting on a 25-year career in public office that began in the Washington state legislature.
“Public service takes many forms,” he said. “As I look forward to this new chapter and ways I can continue to serve my community and this great Nation, I do so with confidence that there are now qualified and serious people expressing interest in this office. Central Washington will have a strong, capable leader to whom I can pass the torch.”
Newhouse, 69, represents Washington’s Fourth Congressional District, a reliably Republican area rated R+10 by the Cook Partisan Voting Index. The district spans much of central and eastern Washington, encompassing the counties of Douglas, Okanogan, Grant, Yakima, Benton, and Klickitat, along with portions of Adams and Franklin counties.
A farmer and former director of Washington’s Department of Agriculture, Newhouse first entered Congress in 2015 and built a reputation as a pragmatic conservative focused on agriculture, water policy, and rural economic issues.
But Newhouse’s departure will undoubtedly be remembered by his decision to join a partisan effort to impeach then President Donald Trump over the Capitol Riots on January 6. Newhouse was one of 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching Trump based on cherry picked evidence and partisan framing of his legal and constitutionally protected efforts to contest the 2020 election results.
“These Articles of Impeachment are flawed, but I will not use process as an excuse. There is no excuse for President Trump’s actions. The President took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” he said at the time.
“Last week, there was a domestic threat at the door of the Capitol, and he did nothing to stop it. That is why, with a heavy heart and clear resolve, I will vote ‘yes’ on these Articles of Impeachment.”
President Donald Trump not only called for “peaceful and patriotic” protesting in favor of election objections prior to the rioting, but he made several calls for peace and respect for law and order following the riots breaking out, including a blunt message to “go home” that was followed shortly thereafter by massive coordinate censorship on all major social media platforms.
In addition, it was revealed in an Inspector General’s report that the Pentagon was told by President Trump to secure the Capitol during the expected protests, particularly, if that meant authorizing as many as 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the joint session.
Newhouse, nonetheless, joined in Speaker Pelosi’s partisan agenda to impeach the sitting president and bar him from seeking future office, thereby defying the will of the people. Thus, he will be remembered as an accomplice to the undemocratic efforts to sabotage the Democratic Party’s political opposition.
Of the 10 impeachment voters, eight have been ousted in primary contests or opted to retire when facing certain defeat. Only Newhouse and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) — who is facing a strong chance of defeat next year — are still serving in Congress.
Newhouse had survived fierce primary challenges from former NASCAR Driver and staunch Trump supporter Jerrod Sessler in 2022 and 2024. Sessler announced back in January that he will be running for the seat once again in 2026.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
