Republicans are walking into uncharted territory as Donald Trump holds a post-presidency grip on their party, with no signs his influence will wane any time soon.
Rep. Liz Cheney, far from the first Republican to be brought low after criticizing Trump, was removed from party leadership Wednesday for the sin of repeatedly calling out the former president’s lies that his election loss was fraudulent. For years, Trump has crushed nearly all his intraparty critics, but Cheney marks his first takedown since leaving office.
Unlike any former president in recent memory, Trump is enthusiastically wielding the full powers of a party leader from his home as a private citizen. Republicans in Congress said Wednesday that no one knows how long this state of play will continue.
