In August, Cheney was overwhelmingly <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/16\/wyoming-republicans-throw-liz-cheney-out-of-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">defeated <\/a>by Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman challenging the incumbent congressman in a Republican primary. Cheney was ultimately booted out of Congress by more than 37 points. Had Democrat voters not changed party registration to back Cheney in the Republican contest, Cheney\u2019s margin of defeat would have been<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/18\/analysis-if-not-for-democrat-voters-cheneys-loss-would-have-been-even-more-devastating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> far wider.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Since joining House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Select Committee as the leader\u2019s hand-picked vice chair, Cheney\u2019s endorsement has proven to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/02\/liz-cheneys-endorsement-is-the-political-kiss-of-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">political kiss of death<\/a> for the soon-to-be ex-lawmaker\u2019s few allies. Cheney herself began her third term in the latest Congress with the number three role in the House Republican conference as chair. By summer, Cheney was co-opted by Democrats to lead their latest witch hunt probe and was kicked from her perch in leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger was the second Republican hand-picked by Pelosi to serve on the Select Committee. Rather than face the same humiliation as Cheney in Wyoming, Kinzinger opted not to run again. Jan. 6 Committee Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., once considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, also turned down a bid for re-election.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining five members of the Select Committee who re-appeared on the ballot this fall are running in districts deemed reliably Democrat.<\/p>\n<p> Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
