And the subject she’ll mostly be talking about: Donald Trump. It is not difficult to see a scenario in which Cheney is either on cable news multiple times per day talking about the dangers of Donald Trump or running a presidential campaign, one based not on fixing the country’s multiple crises (federal overspending, urban crime, a wide-open southern border, fentanyl deaths, an education system lagging well behind other countries) but solely on Trump, which many in our media will certainly give tons of attention in amplifying.īoth paths lead to one thing American cable-news viewers have gotten accustomed to seeing this summer: Liz Cheney.

The vote to impeach Trump can be tied directly to her downfall: Her disapproval rating in Wyoming was just 26 percent in 2020 after the vote, her disapproval rose to 72 percent. So far, seven of those lawmakers who voted along with Cheney have been successfully primaried or saw the writing on the wall and retired her ouster makes it eight out of 10.
