While some Republicans have stood up to Trump – 10 in the House voted for his second impeachment – none has taken him on as strongly as Cheney, who has said Republicans cannot have both loyalty to Trump and to the U.S. Constitution.

Cheney's race was the main event on Tuesday, which also featured a special election in Alaska to replace the late GOP Rep. Don Young, who died earlier this year. Alaska voters will use ranked-choice voting to select a member of Congress from a field of three.

  1. And now she thinks losing to the trump backed candidate that she has a chance of running against Trump in 2024 and winning how delusional can you get

    1. He’s not running. He’s just grifting money from his followers, otherwise he would have announced his candidacy already.

    2. @勇気 Yuuki it is to early for anyone to announce, and no one has including Biden. Just a waste of time and money.

    1. Let me guess you said that after the 2 failed impeachments, the Jan 6th BS and the Russian lies. Be honest comrade. Can you at least respond and prove you’re not a communist bot 😂

    2. That is a pretty sad attempt at throwing something at the wall to see if it sticks. How do people not see through this? And has anyone here ever met anyone who actually likes the current administration? Joe Biden? I keep asking everyone I know I have still not got a yes.

  2. WTG Republicans!!!! 🎉
    Fighting back for our country! Standing up to the evil perverse terristic practices of the Democrats!
    My heart is encouraged!

  3. Remember when she had to come out as against gay marriage even though her sister was a married lesbian and she didn’t actually have a problem with it but was totally comfortable throwing her own sister under a bus for a political leg up? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
