FILE - Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., arrives after a break as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds a hearing at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, July 21, 2022. Cheney's determination to prevent Trump from ever again serving in the White House has left her fighting to hold on to the U.S. House seat she has held for three terms.
All Texas Democrats supported the measure, while all Texas Republicans opposed it. Just nine Republicans, all of whom are not returning to Congress next year, voted in favor of the legislation. Cheney, who co-chairs the committee investigating the insurrection, criticized her GOP colleagues for"defending the indefensible."
The bill's fate now rests in the Senate, where a bipartison group of senators is also working on potential changes to election law. The Senate version differs slightly, requiring one-fifth of members to raise an objection instead of one-third.Cheney, who recently lost her primary to a Trump supporter and will not return to Congress next year, said she will do everything in her power to prevent Trump from taking office again.
As Republicans aim to take back the majority in the House this November, Cheney cautioned that a GOP-led chamber would give outsized power to election-deniers like U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Jim Jordan of Ohio.Cheney also has"no doubt" that a Republican majority would nix the Jan. 6 committee.
