“A handful of Republican operatives are quietly mounting a last-ditch effort to rescue Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from a Trump-backed primary challenge,” Axios reports.
“The previously unreported effort shows how some Republicans are trying to surreptitiously undercut the former president’s revenge campaign, which has so far claimed the political lives of a significant chunk of GOP critics.”
“Their strategy is two-pronged: Persuade Democrats to cross the aisle and back the Wyoming Republican in this month’s open primary, and dent her Trump-endorsed challenger by portraying her as insufficiently loyal to the former president.”
