The nation would be “threatened” if the Republicans took over the House in 2025, according to former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.
I still hold fast to the Republican Party’s founding beliefs and ideals, but the modern GOP has chosen its side and isn’t standing by the Constitution. Consequently, if Republicans gain the majority in January 2025, it poses a threat, Cheney stated in an interview that was broadcast on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
Cheney, who served as the representative for Wyoming in the House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023, stated that House Speaker Mike Johnson should not be elected in 2025 since he was “absolutely” involved in the plot to derail the 2020 election.
His character just isn’t right. An existential dilemma has arisen in connection with the 2024 election. And we must make sure that the upcoming election does not end up in the hands of a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, she added.
Each state’s congressional delegation gets one vote in the House of Representatives if no presidential contender receives 270 or more votes in the Electoral College. The House of Representatives has chosen Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams as presidents.
A “good friend” of Cheney’s, Johnson “was willing time and again to ignore the rulings of the courts, to ignore what state and federal courts had done and said about the elections in these states to attempt to do Donald Trump’s bidding” after the 2020 election, according to Cheney, who had previously referred to Johnson as “good friend.”
An AWN-obtained copy of Cheney’s upcoming book, “Oath and Honour,” states that the former vice president strongly criticises the Republican Party, its leadership, and Trump, describing him as “the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office.” The book is scheduled for release on Tuesday.
Johnson “seemed particularly vulnerable to flattery from Trump and aspired to being anywhere in Trump’s orbit,” she says in her book.
The House committee that investigated Trump’s efforts to revoke the 2020 election found crucial details, and Cheney played a pivotal role as vice chair of that committee.
Including leaving herself open to a presidential bid in 2024, she has promised to do all it takes to prevent Trump from regaining the presidency. Cheney has already stated her intention to quit the Republican Party if Trump is nominated.
“What I believe is the cause of our time is that we not become numb that we understand the warning signs that we know the danger and… that we ignore partisan politics to stop him,” Cheney announced to CBS.
