Liz Cheney’s Trump vote prompts new Wyoming censure effort

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Some local Republican Party officials in Wyoming have announced that they will no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a party member because of her vote to impeach Donald Trump.

The Republican Party can withdraw or withhold support from GOP officeholders and candidates but can’t oust anybody from the party. Cheney describes her impeachment vote and criticism of Trump as putting principle and the U.S. Constitution above the former president.
