As all of Congress gathers Tuesday for President Biden’s State of the Union, here’s what happened to the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach the former president on his way out the door.
: “There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the President.”Cheney is the most outspoken, defiant Republican in Congress when it comes to Trump. What happens to her in this closely-watched race this year could determine whether there’s any room in the Republican Party for Trump critics.
After voting for his impeachment, she agreed to serve on a committee Democrats put together to investigate the former president’s role in the Jan. 6 attack; she’s the committee’s vice chair. She’s also running for reelection, even though her party has kicked her out of leadership, censored her and backed a pro-Trump primary challenger to her, Harriet Hageman. Wyoming only has one congressional district, and Trump won the state in 2020 with nearly 70 percent of the vote.
“I’m a constitutional conservative and I do not recognize those in my party who have abandoned the Constitution to embrace Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a after the Republican National Committee censured her. “History will be their judge. I will never stop fighting for our constitutional republic. No matter what.”“I believe President Trump acted against his oath of office, so I will vote to impeach him.”During Trump’s impeachment, she also shared that the top House Republican, Kevin McCarthy, relayed to her a conversation he had with Trump on Jan. 6, when McCarthy asked Trump to stop the rioters.
, told McCarthy, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.” She offered to testify in the Senate’s trial and urged other Republicans with knowledge of this and similar conversations to come forward.She supported an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack; when that failed, she opposed the current commission, made up largely of Democrats, saying it was too partisan. Her local Republican Party has censured her for her impeachment vote.
