What specific House Republicans voted to impeach Trump in 2021 and are any of them still in Congress?
Executive summary
Ten House Republicans joined Democrats to impeach former President Donald Trump on Jan. 13, 2021; that bipartisan break prompted a wave of primary challenges, retirements and defeats that has left only two of those Republicans serving in the House in subsequent Congresses, according to contemporary reporting [1] [2] [3].
1. The ten House Republicans who voted to impeach in 2021
The House roll call that produced the second impeachment of Donald Trump included ten Republicans: Liz Cheney (R‑Wyo.), Adam Kinzinger (R‑Ill.), John Katko (R‑N.Y.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R‑Wash.), Dan Newhouse (R‑Wash.), Peter Meijer (R‑Mich.), Tom Rice (R‑S.C.), David Valadao (R‑Calif.), Anthony Gonzalez (R‑Ohio) and one other GOP member listed in contemporaneous vote tallies (see the CNN summary of the Jan. 13, 2021, vote and related roll-call records) [1] [4].
2. The immediate political fallout for that group
The impeachment votes produced predictable and sometimes swift consequences inside the GOP: several of the ten faced formal censure by state or local party bodies, multiple incumbents drew Trump‑backed challengers, and others chose not to run again amid a hostile primary environment—outcomes tracked in reporting through 2022 and beyond [5] [6] [7]. High‑profile losses in 2022 included primary defeats for members such as Liz Cheney and others who were removed from leadership or beaten in GOP nominating contests, while a handful announced retirements rather than fight likely Trump‑endorsed challengers [5] [6].
3. Who remains in Congress (and who doesn’t)
By the 2022–2024 cycle the field had thinned: reporting identified Rep. David Valadao (R‑Calif.) and Rep. Dan Newhouse (R‑Wash.) as the last two sitting House Republicans who had voted to impeach Trump, with the other eight no longer serving in the House due to primary defeats, retirements or electoral losses [2] [3] [8]. Subsequent reporting on retirements and 2025 filings continued to treat Newhouse and Valadao as the remaining two, and later coverage noted Newhouse’s decision not to seek re‑election in 2026—meaning the number of such Republicans still in Congress shrank further as of that reporting [2] [9] [8]. Sources differ in timing and detail, but the consistent finding across news outlets is that eight of the ten were out of the House by the mid‑2020s while two persisted into later terms [7] [8].
4. How to read these outcomes: politics, loyalty and local dynamics
The pattern observed in national coverage is not only a story of party punishment but also of local political realities: some members represented districts that were comparatively moderate or competitive and were able to survive or reclaim seats (Valadao is noted as winning reelection in a tight California contest), while others faced unified Trump‑aligned insurgencies or opted to exit rather than endure bruising primaries [10] [7] [6]. Analysts emphasized both the deterrent effect of Trump endorsements against perceived disloyalty and the limits of national narratives—individual contests turned on local factors, the presence or absence of robust challengers, and the timing of retirements versus electoral defeat [7] [5].
5. Bottom line
The factual record across multiple outlets shows that ten House Republicans voted to impeach Trump in January 2021 [1] [4], and subsequent reporting documents that most of them were driven from the House within a few election cycles such that by late‑2022 into the mid‑2020s only David Valadao and Dan Newhouse remained as sitting Republicans who had supported impeachment—Newhouse later announced he would not run again, underscoring how few of the original ten remain in Congress [2] [3] [9].
