New: House Rs didn’t just depose @Liz_Cheney - they handed her a megaphone to remind voters of how beholden the party still is to Trump.
And she’s already using it
On Cheney’s new role, the long shadow of Trumpism & a different sort of endless war

.@SavannahGuthrie today
@BretBaier tomorrow
And as interesting, at least to me, @Liz_Cheney is clearly playing for history: she brought family friend and legendary photog @kennerly w her today to record her transition from House leader to leader of the anti-Trump Republicans

The quiet fears of some Hill Repubs - that a symbolic Cheney bid in ‘24 is enough to lure Trump into the race - or least freeze the field bc to run before Trump has decided would be joining her ranks
As I mentioned in the piece, look no further than across the Potomac to see how Dems will continue running against Trump in blue and purple areas.
They are gonna jam any Repubs who got thru primaries by embracing Trump and his 2020 denialism

Final footnote: A Senate guy reminded me today that this day never had to happen.
They wooed Liz to run for Enzi seat last year. And the pitch was, in part - come to where you’re wanted (and leave where you’re not gonna be - the House GOP conference)
