Liz Cheney was the last straw for the Republican Party, and voting her out of office this week sent shockwaves throughout the GOP that you’re either in or you’re out!
According to recent primary election results, 80% of House Republicans, 8 out of 10, who voted to impeach former President Trump are now out of congress; RINO Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is the latest victim.
With Cheney’s landslide loss Tuesday evening in Wyoming against Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, a mere two of the ten pro-impeachment Republicans remain in the House. Only Reps. David Valadao (R-CA) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA) remain. According to Breitbart, Newhouse hails from a safer red district, while Valadao is running for reelection in a more contested district, where Trump did not endorse anyone in the primary.
Four pro-impeachment Republicans opted to retire and not compete in a GOP primary, which includes Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), Fred Upton (R-MI), and John Katko (R-NY). Another four pro-impeachment members lost their GOP primary: Reps. Peter Meijer (R-MI), Tom Rice (R-SC), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), and now Liz Cheney.
With all pro-impeachment House primaries completed, attention will now turn to the Senate, where seven GOP senators voted to impeach Trump: Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Of those seven senators, two are retiring. Only one is running for reelection this year – Murkowski, who faces rising star and Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka in the General election.
