Rep. Chris Bell (D-Tex.) lost the 2004 primary by 35 points, but that came after his district was massively redrawn, sharply reducing the number of White voters and opening the door to a Black primary challenger. Like these examples, most of the largest margins, historically, have come amid unusual circumstances: dramatic redistricting, party switches, scandals, or unusual primary processes. Many incumbents have lost primaries by double digits and several have lost by 20 points or more, but mostly when these factors were present. About the only intra-party rebuke this century that was comparable to Cheney’s — both for the absence of those factors and the size of the defeat — came in South Carolina in 2010, when Rep. Bob Inglis (R.C.) found himself overtaken by the tea party tide. But it took a two-candidate runoff before it got nearly as bad as Cheney’s loss. … Aside from the races mentioned above, the next biggest loss in the league may sound familiar: Rep. Tom Rice’s (RS.C.) 27.5-point loss earlier this year. Rice, like Cheney, voted to impeach Trump.
