Liz Cheney loses Wyoming to Donald Trump-backed candidate

U.S. Republican representative Liz Cheney has lost her Wyoming seat following a mammoth campaign by a Trump-backed candidate


Cheney has played a major role in the January 6 investigation, being one of only two Republicans serving on the congressional panel.

Just two years ago, Cheney won the primary with 73% of the vote… but she says she couldn’t follow that same path again.

She was up against Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman, and Hageman is well ahead, according to opinion polls.

Harriet Hageman won the primary vote, as her supporters celebrate at a sprawling outdoor rodeo.

Experts say the results show how far right the GOP has swung, and demonstrate how much of a grip Trump has on the party’s grassroots members.

Cheney will be forced out of Congress in January, but she’s not expected to go quietly, In fact, a 20-24 presidential bid may be on the cards.

More broadly, the Republican party is expected to retake the House and there’s a big chance they’ll take the Senate, too.

This would be devastating for current President Joe Biden, as it would effectively bring his legislative agenda to a halt.

Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is using her campaign to keep attention on Trump’s actions, in an attempt to persuade Republicans he is a threat to democracy.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
