California GOP lawmaker faces censure from his own party over his vote to convict Trump

In response to his vote to convict Donald Trump, GOP Rep. David Valadao, who represents California's San Joaquin Valley, will face an attempt to censure him at the California GOP convention this weekend, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"I was surprised to see we have a California Republican, Congressman David Valadao, vote for impeachment," said Erik Elness, a delegate who is a co-sponsor of the resolution. "I disagreed with the grounds for impeachment, and I felt that it was inappropriate for a Republican congressman to vote for it."

As the Times points out, most of the seven GOP senators who voted to convict Trump have been rebuked by their state parties or leaders.
