Liz Cheney had an insanely high percentage of voting with Trump on legislation. Like 95%+. Way way higher than Elise Stefanik, who took her place in house leadership, because Stefanik was loyal on election denial.
It is insane that anyone is fighting over Cheney vs Trump. None of them are good for America.
That is precisely the plan. Vance is a comparatively stable predictable tool. No way he can win re-election on his own, but that won’t be necessary after he has a year or two in the white house.
