In addition, Cheney accepted an invitation to serve on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-CA) House select committee on January 6, despite House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) rejecting his party\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy objected to Republicans being involved in the committee after Pelosi rejected two of his recommended House members from participating on the committee: Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and Indiana Rep. Jim Banks.<\/p>\n<p>The committee moved forward without McCarthy\u2019s support, despite the original plans to include at least five Republicans on the 13-member committee. Cheney soon joined the group, later followed by Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who also voted to impeach Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The Wyoming Republican Party voted in November to stop recognizing Cheney as a member of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 31-29 vote Saturday in Buffalo, Wyoming, by the state party central committee followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming\u2019s 23 counties to no longer recognize Cheney as a Republican,\u201d the Associated Press&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/donald-trump-liz-cheney-wyoming-casper-1966d793df2baa85e0fecad4026b0e99\">reported<\/a>. \u201cIn February, the Wyoming GOP central committee voted overwhelmingly to censure Cheney, Wyoming\u2019s lone U.S. representative, for voting to impeach Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-endorses-republican-to-run-against-rep-liz-cheney-in-wyoming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Daily Wire<\/a> previously reported on Trump\u2019s endorsement of Hageman in September:<\/p>\n<p><em>Former President Donald Trump on Thursday endorsed Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman in her expected primary challenge against Republican Rep.
