Rep. Newhouse Triumphs Over Trump-Backed Rival in Washington State

U.S. Representative Dan Newhouse, one of the few Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, won reelection in Washington's 4th Congressional District. Newhouse focused on agriculture and border security, while his opponent, Jerrod Sessler, campaigned on policies aligned with Trump, including strong national security and imposing tariffs on China.

U.S. Representative Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state's 4th Congressional District, secured his reelection on Tuesday. Newhouse is one of the two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, a decision that did not deter his victory.

Facing a challenge from Jerrod Sessler, Newhouse won despite Sessler's endorsement from Trump. Newhouse, bolstered by endorsements from the NRA and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, focused his campaign on agriculture and border security in a state heavily reliant on immigrant labor for its vast agricultural lands.

Sessler, a Navy veteran and staunch supporter of Trump's policies, pledged to reinforce national security, dismantle certain regulatory measures, and impose sanctions on China, viewing its global ambitions as a significant threat.
