Wednesday on Political Rewind: In Congress, Republicans decided to remove Sen. Liz Cheney from a party leadership position today. New York’s Rep. Elise Stefanik could be promoted in Cheney’s place, but Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is asking for more time to find a replacement.

What does Cheney's ousting tell us about Greene’s role and influence in the GOP and internal fractures within the party?

In other news from the U.S. Capitol, the Senate discusses the so-called “For the People Act,” the House Democrat plan to establish federal rules on elections. The legislation would counteract state election laws such as SB 202 in Georgia.

Meanwhile, a gas shortage is worrying Georgians across the state. Consumers are reporting high prices and long lines at gas stations. The shortage is a result of a hack of Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline that shut down a major artery of fuel on the East Coast.
