A professor writing a book about Republican Rep. Liz Cheney says her primary loss is a microcosm of a battle that is already «raging» beyond Wyoming and throughout the GOP.
In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday, Stephanie Muravchik, a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California, said, «Wyoming is this powerful example of the right’s new obsession with identity.»
Muravchik described ideological changes in the Republican party, adding that the term «conservative» no longer means something ideological.
«What it’s coming to mean is a person who is deeply committed to Donald Trump and his style of politics,» she said.
Cheney lost her Wyoming primary on Tuesday to Harriet Hageman, who was backed by former President Donald Trump.
