House GOP chatter about pushing Liz Cheney out is gaining traction
It heated up during the GOP retreat & now Senior House GOP are telling press on background that if a vote happened now she'd be gone
And that McCarthy isn't likely to back here again...
This will hurt GOP badly..
Trump is sharing his thoughts on this now, too
Saying "Cheney is polling sooo low in Wyoming, and has sooo little support, even from the Wyoming Republican Party, that she is looking for a way out of her Congressional race”
Because of her 2024 Presidential aspirations?
There is no polling evidence to support Trump's remarks
He also said: "She’ll either be yet another lobbyist or maybe embarrass her family by running for President, in order to save face.”
This hitback was expected
He is FURIOUS that she'd consider primarying him
Here we go!
Everything McCarthy does now is because he desperately wants to be Speaker
Trump believes that he holds the power to destroy McCarthy's chances of realizing that ambition
If McCarthy distances himself from Cheney now it helps McCarthy in the long run
But it's all @ Trump
