Has Trump changed the Republican party forever?
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.
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.

UPS cargo plane crash in Kentucky kills four, injures 11, governor warns death toll may rise
– A UPS cargo plane crashed in Louisville, resulting in at least four deaths and 11 injuries.
– Investigations are underway, and all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled.
Several people with serious injuries are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
The crash affected two businesses in proximity to the airport: Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Grade A Auto Parts confirmed most employees were accounted for, although uncertainty remains regarding customer safety.
Nearby, a Ford Motor assembly plant lost power but was not directly impacted by the crash.
Emergency services have worked to contain a fire resulting from the incident, which required a significant number of responders. UPS has not confirmed details regarding its crew’s condition. Photographs showed the MD-11 engulfed in flames at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
UPS operates its primary air cargo facility in Louisville, processing millions of packages daily. The plane’s fuel load of 38,000 gallons contributed to explosions that occurred upon impact with the businesses, prompting significant road closures.
Investigation Underway
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct investigations into the crash.
In the aftermath, all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled, affecting major airlines including Delta Air Lines and American Airlines.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.
US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.
Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.
Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.
