Derrick Evans, Jan. 6 Rioter, Loses West Virginia GOP Primary

Evans, who served prison time for his role in the Capitol attack, failed in his bid to unseat incumbent Rep. Carol Miller.

Evans livestreamed his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, leading to his arrest and conviction.
Despite his felony conviction, Evans campaigned on his involvement in the insurrection, branding himself a 'political prisoner.'
Incumbent Carol Miller secured the GOP nomination with over 60% of the vote.
Evans' defeat continues the trend of Jan. 6 participants struggling in political races.
Miller, also a Trump supporter, voted against certifying the 2020 election results.
