Who is Liz Cheney?
A primer: Representative Liz Cheney is the No. 3 Republican in the House, and she led the GOP effort to impeach Trump. Here are the facts.
The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time on Wednesday in a bipartisan effort that charged him with “incitement of insurrection” for the pro-Trump riots that seized the U.S. Capitol last week.
The chamber’s vote included all 222 Democrats, as well as ten members of the GOP, which “constituted the largest group to ever vote to impeach a president from their own party.” Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the No. 3 Republican in the House, led the GOP effort to impeach Trump, and was joined by several other colleagues including Republican Reps. John Katko (N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Fred Upton (Mich.) and Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.).
