Quick Glance: Maine Court Halts Trump's Exclusion from State Primary
  • A Maine court has temporarily halted the decision to exclude Donald Trump from the state's primary election.

  • The decision was based on the interpretation of a constitutional provision that bars insurrectionists from holding public office.

  • The court ordered the secretary of state to issue a new decision on Trump once the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on a related case.

  • The decision in Maine further thrusts the Supreme Court justices into contentious election debates, as they may decide Trump's claim of presidential immunity from criminal charges.

What happened to the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump?
Quick Glance: David Valadao, a Republican who voted to impeach Donald Trump, has won a close California election.
  • When the Associated Press predicted that Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, would win California's 22nd Congressional District, he had about 52% of the vote with over 98% of the ballots counted.

  • "The Central Valley is my home, and I am once again humbled by the Central Valley's support and faith in me," Valadao said in a statement after the Associated Press certified his victory.

  • According to interviews conducted previous to the election, some Valley voters favored Republicans due to their disdain for Democrats in Sacramento.

  • And, as California GOP consultant Matt Rexroad has repeatedly told The Sacramento Bee, Valadao is "the one guy" who "never, ever count out of a race."
