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.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump squared off in their first and possibly only debate, with both sides taking some big swings.

Harris wasted no time poking fun at Trump’s rallies, even daring viewers to see for themselves.

That dig clearly got under Trump’s skin.

At one point, Trump bizarrely claimed immigrants were eating pets in Ohio – a claim swiftly debunked by the moderators.

Harris hit Trump hard on his election fraud claims, reminding voters that 81 million Americans fired him in 2020.

Things heated up when the two accused each other of using the Justice Department for political attacks – calling each other threats to democracy. #featured #trending #hotshots
