Liz Cheney lost the primary after taking leadership of the Republican Party against Donald Trump.
Liz Cheney lost primary after taking charge of Republican against former US President Donald Trump. After the midterm elections, the prominent critic of Trump will be expelled from the Wyoming seat. She forfeited a primary race for her in the US House of Representatives to a rival backed by former president Donald Trump. Because she was one of the most prominent critics of the former president in Congress.
Republicans in the staunchly conservative western state of Wyoming punished her for her attachment with Congress. Being the daughter of the former Vice President Dick Cheney, she has been represented in Wyoming in the House since 2017. Cheney faced an uphill battle to defeat her rivals in re-election this year. After becoming the voice chairman of a congressional panel investigating the attack on US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
She also voted to impeach Trump in hostility to the former president and Republican leaders. After her defeat in re-election, she addressed her fans and supporters. In her speech she said, I could have defeated the rival in the election easily if I accept Trump’s machinations about the 2020 election.
Cheney said our republic depends upon the best wishes of the contestants to accept the final results of elections. During her speech, she added that Abraham Lincoln could not win the congressional race before winning the presidency. Later she condemned the main figures of her party who defended the attack on January 6 and the FBR raid on the former president’s house last week.
Cheney said a memorable phrase in her speech “poisonous lies destroy the free nations”. Future she said freedom must not, cannot, and will not die here. Before the midterm elections in November, the primaries in Wyoming and Alaska were last on Tuesday. After the FBR research of his Mar-a-Lago estate and the opening of an inquiry about holding the secret documents of the state.
However, they offered another test of Trump’s grip on Republican voters after the FBR’s research. Those Congressional candidates who have chastised former president Donald Trump faced an uphill battle in winning primary contests so far.
Tom Rice of South Carolina, Jaime Herrera-Beutler of Washington state and Peter Major of Michigan are those candidates who voted to impeach Trump on June 6. They all have lost their seats against Trump-backed rivals. The other four who vote to impeach Trump did not take part in the primary. Only two of them survived the primaries.
Trump’s back rival Harriet Hageman defeated badly Cheney by nearly 30 percentage points in polls before the primary. Although she is the daughter of the former Vice President, there is no illusion about the outcome.
While casting her vote on Tuesday, Cheney talked to CBS that no matter what the outcome but it is the begging of battle. But now, our democracy is under attack and risk. These include Republicans, across the board, Democratic, and independents who believe in freedom and wait for the good days. They should stand with this party and uplift it.
A Trump’s spokesman Taylor Budowich share a post on Twitter in which Trump was dancing. He wrote a caption “ Bye Bye Liz Cheney”. Liz Cheney said it’s a shame on me that my party members are attacking on FBI agents. She started an appeal to stop the misconception toward 2020 election by Trump and his followers.
