Her Argument News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Liz Cheney is on the hot-seat and the temperature just got turned up more. As Jeff Charles shared earlier today, Rep. Matt Gaetz has been by over half the GOP caucus in asking for Cheney’s removal from leadership (see Matt Gaetz Leads More than Half of House Republicans to Unseat Liz Cheney). This comes after her vote in favor of impeaching Donald Trump knowing that the trial wouldn’t even start until after he had left office. This all leaves Cheney in a precarious position. She’s lost the support of her own party back home in Wyoming. She’s lost the support of her caucus in Washington. Her allies boil down to a bunch of establishment figures who simply see her as a contrast to the former president. Cheney is rarely judged on her own merits. Yet, in my view, any discussion of her leadership role should be lead with a basic question: Why should she be in leadership in the first place?
