Liz Cheney, newly ousted from the House Republican leadership, is battling back through the media.
She launches a blitz this week that runs from the Today show to Fox’s Special Report, casting herself as the leader of a new movement within the Republican Party.
But is she?
And will it amount to much?
In telling Savannah Guthrie to bring it on! , the Wyoming congresswoman has unfurled a giant banner for the anti-Trump troops to march behind. But there just aren’t that many of them in the GOP, which is dominated by the former president.
And that leaves Cheney close to politically homeless. While liberals and much of the media have embraced her, some of them can’t abide her hawkish policies, and have crusaded against them since her father was vice president. So Kevin McCarthy led the effort to dump her, but most Democrats can’t quite embrace her.

Rob Portman, who announced earlier this year that he will not seek another term. Thiel’s donation has raised some eyebrows in the state, where there’s every indication that the primary election will be a referendum on President Trump.
