the pair were on separate stages in arizona. and no sick days for president biden at the white house while recovering from covid. we ll have the latest on his health. a very good morning to all of you. welcome to way too early. on this monday, july 25th. we begin this morning with the latest developments from the january 6th select committee over the weekend. vice chair liz cheney one of only two republicans serving on the committee went on fox news yesterday to defend the committee s work, she exposed the network s audience to former president trump s role in the capitol riot, even noting a key editorial from the right wing new york post which is the same owner as fox, slamming trump as unworthy to become president again and pushed back on a talking point some republicans have been using to shift the focus on the law enforcement response to the riot. questioning house minority leader kevin mccarthy s motives and placing the blame squarely on trump s role that day.
you know, for the record, he did not win twice. meantime, arizona voters will be heading to the polls for their state s primary next tuesday. in his most visible break from trump yet, mike pence was in arizona on friday, campaigning for a competing gubernatorial candidate. trump is backing lake, who parrots the big lie, pence is throwing his support behind the establishment pick of karen taylor robson. the race has become a flashpoint in the split between trump and his former vp, with pence tweeting friday, some people want this election to be about the past. elections are always about the future. democrats would love nothing more than for republicans to take our eye off the ball and focus on days gone by. if the republican party allows itself to become consumed by yesterday s grievances, we will lose. if we come together, keep our eye on the ball and focus on the future, we won t just win the next election, we will change the course of american history for generations. joining u
