Risky RINO Removal is a term that applies to the notion of primarying Moderate Republicans or RINOs in swing or Democrat-leaning districts. In Delaware in 2010, the RINO governor, Mike Castle, was primaried by Christine O'Donnell, the favorite of the Tea Party in the race for United States Senator. However, Tea Party candidates were less electable in Biden's Delaware, and O'Donnell lost the general election to a Democrat, Chris Coon a Biden ally who still holds the seat.[1]
A current example would be primarying anti-Trump U.S. Representative David Valadao of California, whose district is Democrat and voted by more than ten points for Biden. Putting an America First candidate would be a risky move which could cost the Republicans Valadao's seat.
