Liz Cheney Blames Trump-McCarthy Alliance for House GOP Chaos

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney blames the current chaos in the House of Representatives on Kevin McCarthy's alliance with former President Donald Trump, stating that it is a result of McCarthy's decision to embrace Trump and the most radical members of the party. The House has been without a speaker since McCarthy was ousted in a historic vote, and the party has struggled to elect a new speaker. Cheney, who held a leadership position among House Republicans until she was removed by McCarthy, has indicated that she may enter the race for the Republican nomination for president. She emphasizes the importance of finding a candidate for speaker who will not deny election results and will support aid to Ukraine. Cheney also criticizes the encouragement and acceptance of violence within the party.
