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 confirms U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites amid rising tensions; Israel intensifies operations, Iran vows to continue enrichment, and Houthi militants threaten U.S. shipping.


President Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – with all aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace. The mission, involving B-2 stealth bombers, comes amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military operations, killing three top Iranian military leaders and striking a major nuclear facility in Isfahan. The Israeli chief of staff warned the operation may lead to a prolonged and complex war.

Iran responded by vowing to continue uranium enrichment and said talks with the U.S. are off the table unless Israel halts its attacks. In a parallel move, Houthi militants threatened U.S. and commercial ships in the Red Sea if American strikes continue in support of Israel.

Adding to the volatility, an Iranian drone hit northern Israel, with the IDF confirming the incident—though no casualties were reported. The U.S. State Department is now organising flights to evacuate Americans from Israel.

Trump announces successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iranian leadership.

In Short:
President Trump announced U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, confirming all aircraft left Iranian airspace after the operation. Meanwhile, Israel ramped up its military actions against Iran, leading to warnings from Iranian officials and Houthi militants regarding potential escalations.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the United States had successfully completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In a social media post, he confirmed all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace following the operation.

This military action was preceded by the deployment of stealth B-2 bombers from Missouri, capable of carrying the GBU-57 bunker buster, a powerful weapon considered effective against the Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier indicated to senior aides that he approved attack plans for Iran, awaiting Tehran’s decision on its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military intensified its operations against Iranian military leaders and nuclear sites, announcing the elimination of three senior Iranian figures and strikes on the Isfahan facility. Israel’s military chief warned of a potentially prolonged conflict, describing it as the nation’s most complex military undertaking.

In response, Iranian officials stated their refusal to halt uranium enrichment and indicated that negotiations with the U.S. would only occur if Israel ceased its attacks.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department announced the initiation of flights to facilitate the return of American citizens from Israel.

Houthi militants also issued a warning to target U.S. and commercial vessels in the Red Sea should American attacks in support of Israel commence.

Amidst this, an Iranian drone attack recently damaged a building in northern Israel, marking an acknowledged drone strike by the Israeli military during the ongoing conflict. No casualties were reported from the incident.
