Cheney has been facing criticism from many in her party after her vote to impeach former president Donald Trump and her recent condemnation for the Republican Party's lack of acknowledgement of the events on the January 6.
While Knapp has not had any previous political experience, he has served in the military for 30 years, graduating from West Point in 1987, serving in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2003, 2005, and 2012, and finally retiring in 2017.
Since then Knapp has worked as director for the Tierney Center for Veteran Services, Goodwill Industries of Orange County, an organization that helps veterans with employment and healthcare.
