Rep. Liz Cheney isn’t a Republican anymore, at least according to her state party.

No, Cheney hasn’t actually left the GOP, rather on Saturday, the Wyoming Republican Party’s central committee voted 31-29 to no longer recognize her as a Republican.

It’s the latest example of Western state Republicans punishing politicians for opposing former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol, and it shows the extent that deference to Trump continues to define modern Republican identity.

The censure is symbolic, but it’s still been a popular tool for state parties to show their displeasure at Republicans who opposed Trump in federal or statewide office.

Key staffers working for VP Kamala Harris say they feel abandoned by her and say she has yet to form a coherent agenda. Several confidants told CNN that Harris feels politically constrained by the Biden administration, with which she reportedly enjoys a slightly strained relationship at the best of times.

“It’s hard to miss the specific energy that the White House brings to defend a White man,” one former aide told the network, “knowing that Kamala Harris has spent almost a year taking a lot of the hits that the West Wing didn’t want to take themselves.”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris is not from the United States. Kamala Harris was born in Oakland, and attended high school in Montreal after her mother accepted a job as a teacher and researcher in the Canadian city. “There’s a lot we don’t know about Kamala Harris,” said Carlson on his show when commenting on her nationality, and her growing up in Canada, “that doesn’t mean she is not going to be a good vice president,” he continued.
