Republican Liz Cheney has become best-known in recent months for her public opposition to former president Donald Trump — and it’s no secret that this stance may cost the Wyoming representative her seat.
This possibility has only become more evident given the hearings she’s helping organize as vice chair of the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot. The first hearing, in which Cheney played a starring role, drew an audience of 20 million viewers on twelve different television networks. The second hearing, held on June 13, captured an audience half that size, perhaps indicating lagging interest among the public. This was despite the fact that Fox News, which stayed with its primetime lineup instead of airing the first hearing, aired the second hearing in its entirety.
