A third political party is more likely because of Liz Cheney's Ouster

Elise Stefanik takes Liz Cheney's job, tightening Trump's grip on GOP. "House Republicans are united in our focus to fight on behalf of the American people," Stefanik said. "President Biden and Nancy Pelosi" are "radical Socialist Democrat agenda," she said.

Liz Cheney's ouster makes a third political party more likely. Other Republicans on the outs with the party could mount their next election bids as independents or even as independents. Cheney and others have withheld fealty to the former president because of their loyalty to the party, but could run as independents?
