Spokespeople for Cantor and Brat’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TPM.
Brat’s victory over Cantor was one of the biggest election surprises of the last few years.
“Cantor is the first to lose a renomination bid as a sitting House Majority Leader after 55 successful attempts since the creation of the office in 1899,” the University of Minnesota’s Eric Ostermeier said in response to Cantor’s loss.
