Gibbs’ win comes after he was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, for whom he also previously worked. At the start of his first term in Congress, Meijer had voted to impeach Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. The race drew eyes across the nation as a bellwether of Republican opinions about Trump and his politics.
“He betrayed his voters,” Gibbs said of Meijer earlier Tuesday evening. “Just several days after getting in (to Congress), he voted to impeach President Trump. And if you fast forward, just about a month ago, he voted for one of the biggest gun control bills in decades along with (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi and every single Democrat in the House. He voted for $40 billion for Ukraine when we can’t even secure our own borders. He voted for (President) Joe Biden’s big spending omnibus bill back in March. There’s just vote after vote after vote where he betrayed the people that he was supposed to be representing.”
He said his win showed that “we have to respect the will of the people.”

What goes around comes around. Payback can be brutal.
