Thank you Michigan!&#8221; he wrote in the post.<\/p>\n<p>Just before AP officially called the race for Gibbs, Meijer conceded the primary contest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A constitutional republic like ours requires leaders who are willing to take on the big challenges, to find common ground when possible, and to put their love of country before partisan advantage,&#8221; Meijer said. &#8220;Though this was not the outcome we hoped for, I will continue to do everything possible to move the Republican Party, West Michigan, and our country in a positive direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans currently hold 211 seats and need to reach 218 in order to win control of the House of Representatives from the Democrats, something most analysts believe inevitable given historical trends and the unpopularity of President Biden&#8217;s administration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has the balance of the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-backed-congressional-candidate-john-gibbs-pulls-off-upset-victory-michigan\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump endorsed candidate, John Gibbs, defeated Representative Peter Meijer of Michigan during the primary.
