Liz \u200dCheney Warns of\u2064 Republican \u200dMajority in \u200c2025 House Election<\/h2>\n<p>In \u200ca \u200brecent \u2063interview with CBS Sunday Morning, former Rep. Liz Cheney\u200d (R-WY) \u2062expressed \u200cconcern over the possibility of a\u2062 Republican majority\u2062 in the House in 2025. She particularly emphasized the \u200bpotential threat\u2064 if the 2024 \u2062election is decided by \u200bthe lower chamber. Cheney \u200bargued that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who voted against certifying the 2020 election in \u200btwo states, should not remain in his role\u2064 if the Republican \u200dnominee is\u200b former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>Cheney Highlights the Stakes\u2064 of the\u200b 2024 Election<\/h3>\n<p>According to Cheney, the upcoming 2024 election poses \u200ban existential crisis that must\u2063 be addressed. She stressed the importance of \u200bensuring that a Republican majority does not oversee\u2064 an election that could\u2064 be thrown into the House of Representatives. This process, \u2062known\u2063 as a &#8220;contingent election,&#8221; would occur if no \u200dcandidate secures a majority \u2064of 270 delegates during the general election. \u2062The party holding a majority\u200d in the House or Senate would\u2062 gain a significant advantage in this\u200c scenario.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if she would prefer a Democratic\u200d majority in the House in 2025,\u200d Cheney drew a parallel between\u2062 her Republican\u200b principles and the current behavior of the party. While she strongly believes in \u200bthe principles that \u200dhave defined the Republican \u2062Party, \u200bshe expressed concern\u200c that\u2063 the party has strayed from upholding the Constitution. As a result, Cheney sees a Republican majority in \u200bJanuary 2025 as a potential\u2062 threat.<\/p>\n<h3>Cheney&#8217;s Book\u2064 and Warning<\/h3>\n<p>During\u200c the CBS interview, Cheney\u2062 discussed her\u200d new book, &#8220;Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a\u2063 Warning.&#8221; In \u200dthe book, she\u2063 concludes \u2064that defeating Trump \u2063in the \u200c2024 election is \u200d&#8221;the cause \u200cof our time.&#8221; A clip from the interview revealed Cheney&#8217;s belief that Trump&#8217;s potential primary win and reelection could \u2064bring the United States closer to a &#8220;dictatorship.&#8221; She \u2064expressed concern over the\u200b extent to which \u2062Republicans in Congress have \u2063been co-opted, warning \u2062that the nation may be sleepwalking into a dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>Read\u2064 more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">The Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why does Liz Cheney\u200c believe that baseless claims \u200dabout election integrity could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/american-medical-association-blasted-after-calling-for-removing-sex-from-birth-certificates\/\" title=\"American Medical Association Blasted After Calling For Removing Sex From Birth Certificates\">undermine public trust<\/a> in the \u2063electoral system?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Xpressed\u2064 concerns about the implications it may have on the future \u200bof \u2062American democracy. Cheney,\u200c who was recently ousted\u200d from her leadership\u2064 role in the House Republican \u200cConference\u2064 for her criticism of former \u200dPresident Donald Trump, has\u2064 been a\u200d vocal advocate for preserving the integrity of \u200bthe electoral process \u2064and the rule \u200dof law.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s warning comes amidst a significant shift in the \u200dRepublican \u2064Party&#8217;s stance on key democratic principles. Since the 2020 presidential\u2064 election, \u2064a\u2062 growing number of Republicans have questioned the legitimacy of the electoral process, echoing baseless claims of widespread voter \u2062fraud made by former President Trump. This fringe ideology has increasingly gained traction \u2063within the party, leading to concerns about \u200cthe future of \u2063fair elections and peaceful transitions of power.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Cheney expressed her fear that a Republican majority in the House in \u20622025 \u200dcould \u200dpave the way for further erosion \u2064of democratic norms. She highlighted the importance of upholding the principle of free and fair elections, emphasizing that without them, the very foundation of American democracy is at risk. Cheney warned \u200bthat the spread\u200d of baseless claims\u2063 about election integrity could \u200cundermine public trust in the electoral\u200c system, ultimately weakening the democratic fabric of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200dCheney raised \u2064concerns \u2063over the Republican \u2062Party&#8217;s unwillingness to hold former President\u200d Trump accountable for \u2063his role in the January 6th Capitol insurrection. She argued that the party&#8217;s failure to acknowledge the gravity of the event and\u2063 take appropriate action\u2063 sends a dangerous message\u2063 to future generations.\u200c By not \u2063condemning the attack on the Capitol \u2063and \u200bthe efforts to overturn the election results, Cheney believes that the Republican Party is enabling a dangerous precedent that could have lasting consequences for the nation&#8217;s democratic institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s\u200d warning comes at a critical \u200ctime for the Republican Party, which is facing an internal struggle to define\u2064 its identity and direction. While some within \u2062the party \u200ccontinue to emphasize conservative values and the importance of democratic norms, others have embraced \u2064a more radical and divisive approach. The\u2063 growing influence of the latter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-doj-official-exits-agency-after-group-raises-concerns-over-her-1m-stanford-salary\/\" title=\"Top DOJ Official Exits Agency After Group Raises Concerns Over Her M Stanford Salary\">group raises concerns<\/a> about the party&#8217;s commitment to\u200d democratic principles and\u200c its ability to\u2062 ensure a stable \u2064and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-press-sec-jen-psaki-takes-shot-at-old-white-politicians-thinks-will-hurt-bidens-chances\/\" title=\"Jen Psaki criticizes 'old' and 'white' politicians, fears impact on Biden's prospects.\">inclusive political environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In light \u200dof these concerns, Cheney called on her fellow Republicans to prioritize the preservation of democracy \u200dover partisan politics. She urged her party to\u2064 reject baseless claims about election integrity and \u200dto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservatives-speak-out-after-russell-brand-accused-of-raping-4-women-including-teen\/\" title=\"Conservatives condemn Russell Brand for alleged rape of 4 women, including a teenager.\">hold \u2062individuals accountable<\/a> for\u200c their actions, regardless of party affiliation. By doing so, Cheney argued that the Republican\u200d Party can \u200breclaim its role as a defender of \u200bdemocratic ideals\u2064 and contribute to the \u200bstrengthening of American democracy as \u2062a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney&#8217;s \u2064warnings\u200b should serve as \u200ca wake-up\u2064 call \u200dto all Americans, regardless of political \u2064affiliation.\u2062 The future of American democracy depends on the commitment of all citizens to uphold democratic principles and protect the\u2063 integrity of the\u200c electoral process. As the 2025 House election approaches, it is crucial for voters to carefully consider the candidates and\u200c their dedication to democracy. The consequences of a Republican majority that disregards democratic norms cannot be understated\u200c \u2013 it is \u200da risk\u200b that the nation simply\u200b cannot afford to take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Rep.
