By endorsing Democrat Colin Allred over Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, Liz Cheney faces questions about the right to call herself a Republican.

Ms. Cheney, a longtime Republican, said that the G.O.P. “has rejected the Constitution in the name of supporting Trump” and that Mike Johnson should not be speaker.

Liz Cheney thinks conservatives might have to consider a future beyond the Republican party. During the Cap Times Idea Fest in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, the former congresswoman from Wyoming said she’s had a hard time reckoning with what the GOP has become and wondered if it may be time for a new political party to emerge.

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney told Peter Baker with The New York Times on Saturday that the Republican Party might be unsalvageable after becoming the party of Trumpism throughout the last nine years.
