Donald Trump Jr. Passed On Running For Wyoming Senate Seat

Donald Trump Jr. had considered running for an open Senate seat in Wyoming last year--but decided against it.

The eldest son of President Donald Trump has sparred with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) over his father's foreign policy agenda in the past.

White House advisor Ivanka Trump is thought of as a potential Republican challenger to GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida in 2022. Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner are also house-hunting in Florida, where her father and stepmother plan to relocate shortly.

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney Says She'll Vote To impeach Trump

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney announced on Tuesday that she will vote to impeach President Donald Trump. Cheney agrees with others in government positions that the President incited a deadly insurrection last week. Cheney called Trump's incitement of the mob the greatest "betrayal" of the constitution by any American president. "The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack," she said in a statement. Cheney went on to say; "Everything that followed was his doing." 4 people have died as a result of the mayhem at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
