Multiple Trump Loyalists Lose In Primaries Amid Jan. 6 Revelations

Anumber of supporters of Donald Trump who supported his false claims that the 2020 election was rigged lost their primaries on Tuesday. A total of eight states held primaries, runoffs or special elections on June 28, with several Trump loyalists on the ballots. While all 12 candidates the former president explicitly endorsed come out on top, such as Representative Mary Miller's victory over Representative Rodney Davis in Illinois' 15th district and state senator Darren Bailey winning the GOP primary for Illinois governor, others who he did not publicly back but denied or raised doubts about the legitimacy of the last election suffered defeats.
