Ten members of the House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump. They are, in no particular order; Reps. Cheney, Gonzalez, Herrera-Beutler, Katko Kinzinger, Meijer, Newhouse, Rice, Upton, Valadao.

Gonzalez was facing a tumultuous primary against Max Miller, an aide to the former president, whom Trump endorsed in February.

Gonzalez, who turns 37 on Saturday and has two children, said in a statement Thursday that his decision was based on concerns about the toll the job was taking on his young family, as well as the state of the Republican Party.
