A leading Republican critic of Donald Trump has said the party “embraced his cult of personality” after she was ousted in a primary election.
56 year old Liz Cheney, was defeated by the political newcomer and Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman in Wyoming.
She faced an uphill battle to win re-election after joining the congressional committee investigating Trump’s attempts to cling to power.
Ms Cheney – once a rising star in the party – also voted to impeach Trump.
