The Wyoming Republican Party has voted to no longer recognize Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as a member of the GOP, AP reports.

 

Why it matters: Since voting to impeach former President Trump, Cheney has faced repeated criticism from Republicans and was removed from her leadership position in the House.

 

A 31-29 vote by the state party central committee on Saturday marks the party’s second formal rebuke of Cheney.

The big picture: Cheney, who serves as vice chair of the House Jan. 6 select committee, has not retreated from her attacks on Trump.

 

In a fiery speech last week, she called on the Republican Party to reject Trump’s lies and return to an identity rooted in “fidelity to the Constitution … [and] the rule of law.”
