Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican who testified at a House Jan. 6 committee hearing about former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, lost his bid in Tuesday's GOP primary for a state Senate seat to a Trump-backed candidate, CBS News projects.
Former state Sen. David Farnsworth was leading with 64% of the vote to Bowers' 36% as of Wednesday morning, according to the Arizona secretary of state's office. Trump supported Farnsworth in the race, and blasted Bowers as a "RINO coward" at a rally last month.
Bowers testified on June 21 before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The hearing focused on a plan by Trump's allies to put forward alternate electors that supported Trump in seven battleground states in the 2020 election that President Biden won, including Arizona.
