CA GOP rep Rohrabacher is facing opposition

from his own party. The GOP candidates in his district are running against him using the anti-Russian issue.

"...But Rohrabacher is different. Opponents on his left and right are leveraging his long-standing calls for closer relations with Russia as one of the primary issues in their campaign, now that Russian attempts to influence American politics are a flashpoint. Rohrabacher has two Republican challengers this cycle. One is a pro-Trump Republican who is running to defeat the California Republican on an anti-Russia platform.
