landslide to a trump-backed election denier. i m brianna keilar with john berman this morning. cheney was defeated last night by more than a two to one margin, the surest sign yet that donald trump still has a stranglehold on the soul of the republican party. for now cheney will continue to serve as vice chair of the january 6th committee and whatever the future holds she vows to do everything in her power to keep the former president from ever returning to office. two years ago i won this primary with 73% of the vote. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear. but it would have required that i go along with president trump s lie about the 2020 election. that was a path i could not and would not take. it is not clear what cheney plans to do once she leaves congress. the woman who defeated her harriet hageman, had this to say in her victory speech. wyoming has drawn a line in the sand that if we put you in power you will be accountable to us, you will a

The republican candidates on stage at the Ronald Reagan president ial library last night, mostly focused on attacking each other rather than the frontrunner in the polls, donald trump. Talking over each other a lot. Trump was, instead, on stage by himself in michigan speaking to a crowd of mostly nonUnion Auto Workers, and criticizing the strike against detroits big three. Thats a tight shot there. Meanwhile, in washington, it appears the farright republicans in the house are ready t
we re used to seeing you here, stateside obviously, but i know, alex, you ve been talk ag lot online just about how the war is going. how do you see it going right now? first it s hard really to describe what russia is doing as an offensive at this point. they are almost entirely stalled out with really just tiny gains in one small sector of the country around the city of that your kharkiv zaporizhzhia and kherson but at the same time ukrainians aren t able to press an advantage. they have taken a significant amount of punishment. we talk in the u.s. military about company grade officers, lieutenants and captains, those that execute tactical operations they ve taken enormous losses. without breathing room,
