More than a dozen prominent Republicans have been hit with censure resolutions by state or county parties this year. Most of which were for voting to impeach Trump or to convict the former president at trial in the Senate because they hold him responsible for the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol by his grassroots supporters. Some Republicans were censured because party activists decided they ignored Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

“In terms of this particular vote, it hit a raw nerve with people,” said Michael Whatley, chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party. “Folks from one end of the state to the other were disappointed.”
