Has Trump changed the Republican party forever?

Published

With Liz Cheney out of the race, has Trump changed the Republican party forever?

It’s the end of an era for Liz Cheney and now commentators are questioning whether Donald Trump has changed the Republican party forever.

A Republican purebred, Cheney lost her Wyoming seat to Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman.

Although shocking, the demise of the three-term congresswoman isn’t much of a surprise.

Wyoming is one of the most conservative states in the United States and the population’s political allegiance is deeply intertwined with the mission of Donald Trump.

When Cheney took to the stand and voted to impeach the former President, her constituents got angry.

When Cheney became one of just two Republicans to serve on the January 6 insurrection panel, her voters were up in arms.

They felt betrayed by the woman who was supposed to be representing her state in Washington.

But Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, couldn’t do it.

She could no longer follow the path Wyoming wanted her to take.

A new candidate emerged from the dust

Then along came Hageman, a candidate personally picked by Donald Trump himself with one aim – get rid of Cheney.

U.S. House of Representatives candidate Harriet Hageman fundraised $188,850 from 150 in-state individual donors in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The strategy worked, Cheney will be removed from Congress come January.

But the bigger picture here reveals a much deeper story.

Experts say the result shows how far right the GOP has swung and that Trump’s connection with grassroots Republicans has never been stronger.

For 50 years, the Cheneys have had an enormous influence over Washington.

In many ways, this family represented what the Republican party was.

But now, a new wave is sweeping through, and who knows what will be left in its wake.

Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.


Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic breakthrough — a ceasefire and potential peace deal between Israel and Hamas — could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. The former U.S. president is eyeing economic reconstruction opportunities in the region, with energy, infrastructure, and trade set to benefit if stability holds.

Experts say the deal could also influence global oil prices, energy markets, and investment flows, as renewed peace opens the door to new development projects. But it could also trigger volatility if negotiations falter or regional rivalries reignite.

As Trump prepares for further talks with China on trade and critical minerals, economists are watching closely. Could this mark the beginning of a new era of economic détente — or the start of another global power struggle centred around strategic resources?

Australia rushes to finalise billion-dollar minerals deal with the U.S.

Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.

Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.


Australia is racing to secure a landmark critical minerals deal with the United States ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump. The agreement, worth an estimated $1.2 billion, aims to strengthen supply chains and reduce both nations’ reliance on China’s mineral dominance.

The deal would see Australia establish a strategic reserve of rare earths, backed by U.S. investment and government funding. Australian miners are being consulted on potential price floors and financing models that could redefine the future of the country’s resources sector.

However, questions remain over the economic risks. Analysts warn that introducing price controls and heavy government intervention could have unintended consequences, especially if China retaliates with tariffs or production cuts. The deal could reshape global competition for critical minerals essential to defence, energy, and technology industries.
