The challenge for Democrats now will be to attach their candidates to abortion rights — and to hammer Republicans on the issue in a fall — while Republicans will labor to keep the focus on rising prices and talk about anything other thanRepublicans dodged two bullets on Tuesday.

But for the traditionalist wing of the Republican Party, the early indications on Tuesday were mostly positive. Meijer has now become the second pro-impeachment Republican to lose a primary, falling to Trump-backed John Gibbs, the former Trump administration Housing and Urban Development official and software engineer who moved to the district to challenge the congressman.
“Meijer ran a tactically sound campaign, spent enormous money relative to Gibbs, and it’s hard to gauge the built-in value of the Meijer last name in Michigan,” said Jeff Timmer, the former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party and a senior adviser to the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.
