Dissenters
And although the unity of the Republican Party has been appealed to by several of its members, there are several conservative figures what they have criticized what happened. “Liz disagreed with President Trump’s narrative and was censored,” said the Congressman for Colorado, Ken Buck, who had previously spoken out in favor of Liz Cheney.

A support that was also expressed until recently by Kevin McCarthy himself, the leader of the conservative minority in the House of Representatives. This one, however, has changed his mind in a few days. noting that “we want to be united to move forward”, referring to the attitude of the Republican Party against the policies of the Democrats.

Partners in crime
For his part, as soon as the vote was over, Liz Cheney told the media that she would continue to do “everything I can” to ensure that Trump never returns to the White House. and accused Stefanik of being “an accomplice in the great lie of electoral fraud” spread by the previous president.

The ex-president Trump, who cannot communicate through the main social networks because he has been accused of promoting violence, since the events of January 6 that led to the assault on the Capitol, has continued to spread through other channels his theory of electoral fraud which led him to lose the elections.

Goals for the future
The Republican Party, with the latest decisions, shows its unconditional support for Trump and faces a future focused on retake control of the House of Representatives, ahead of the elections that will take place on November 8, 2022. And curiously, the best positioned to continue as leader of that chamber, but already with a Republican majority, is McCarthy, who in a few days changed his mind about his support for Cheney.
–
Because what at stake is not only Trump’s leadership in the conservative party, but the future of all those who are part of it. Although an absolute majority of the entire house is needed to become speaker of the Lower House, in McCarthy’s case, this is the time to decide the alliances and support to establish the positions of power that will be back in play in a few minutes. months. And if it is with the approval of Donald Trump, the better.

In the medium term there are also the elections of “midterm” in which the House of Representatives and a third of the Senators are elected. The Republicans intend to regain at least the majority in the United States Senate, although they do not give up on the possibility of also winning Congress from the Democrats. Americans traditionally “balance” power between the three legislative institutions: the Presidency (White House), Congress, and the Senate.
