2:05 pm
president, 2 years ago. i won this primary with 73 percent of the vote. i could easily have done the same again, the path was clear, but it would have required that i go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election. it would have required that i enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. that was a path i could not, and would not take cheney's opponent, lawyer harriet hagaman was endorsed by trump, who's very popular in wyoming. from congratulated hagaman and called cheney spiteful. obviously, we're all very grateful to president trump, who recognizes that wyoming l a has only one congressional representative. and we have to make it count is jeannie became one of the best known members of congress this year. as the vice chair of the congressional investigation into the events surrounding the insurrection of january 6th,
2:06 pm
2021. as well as the various schemes and falsehoods, trump and his associates hatched as he attempted to remain in office after losing the election. but that didn't go over well with wyoming voters, 70 percent of whom voted for trump over joe biden, in 2020. despite her defeat, many people in wyoming and in washington, dc expect cheney to run for president in 2024, using her reputation as a defender of democracy who stood up to trump when other republicans failed to do so. janie did nothing to dispel those expectations in her concession speech. this primary election is over, that now. the real work begins. janie's last does not mean that she will leave her post as vice chair of the january 6th committee, which will remain active at least until january of next year. she has announced that hearings will resume in september and says that witnesses continue to come

forward, and new evidence is pouring in, rob reynolds al jazeera jackson, wyoming. well, i thank a closer look of what the results tell us about donald trump's influence on the republican party of the 10 house republicans who supported the 2nd impeachment of donald trump only to one their primaries for representatives, including las cheney lost. in each case, don trump endorsed their opponents and for decided not to run for reelection. i said they had threats from trump supporters. scott lucas is an ameritas professor at the university of birmingham in the u. k. he says there was happened to las cheney doesn't necessarily mean donald trump will be president again, very like why, why homing, which is not very densely populated. it says that trumpets can win at local level, that they can unseat their perceived foes, such as lead shanie. despite all the prestige,
2:08 pm
despite all the headline or political background that she brings, however, i think we need to be cautious here. it does not necessarily mean that the trumpets have taken over the republican party. let alone america, don't trust the president 2024. it's only the time to get the announcement that we wait for. now, the bigger question here is, does he succeed? does his spectacle overtake reality? and there are 2 factors to watch here. the 1st is, is that a lot of republicans are not really persuaded that donald trump is the way to go. you might call them establish republicans mainstream republicans. but with all his baggage, he is not necessarily going to be back say by the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. i think the republicans will look for a trumpet st. who is not donald trump, so like florida governor rhonda santos. and secondly, all those legal cases potentially could mean that trump could not take the presidency if he went. because if convicted and i know it's
2:09 pm
a big if he would be disqualified from federal office on some of the charges such as a violation of the presidential records act, or indeed his violation or alleged violation of the espionage australia as former prime minister has defended secretly appointing himself to 5 additional ministerial roles during the pandemic. scott morrison says it was necessary to authorize himself with reserve powers during what he called unprecedented times. but this hasn't stopped calls for his resignation from parliament. sarah clocks now ah, his unpopularity dominated the estrogen election campaign, and close the liberal national party the election less than 3 months after scott morrison resigned his party later is now under pressure to resign from parliament. after who confirmed that, he secretly appointed himself to 5 additional ministerial rolls. during the pandemic. i believed it was necessary to have authority to have what were
2:10 pm
effectively emergency pow's am to exercise in extreme situations that would be unforeseen. that would enable me to act in the national interest. and that is what i did in a crisis. lawson swore himself in as a joint health. mister finance resources i'm with is as well as treasurer. between 20202021. he didn't reveal these additional portfolios to the public parliament, nor to most of his colleagues. that's raised questions with the current government, which is seeking advice from the countries solicitor general. the australian people went to an election, not knowing that any of this had occurred, not knowing that there was a shadow government operating in darkness. out with that transparency, i clear misleading of the parliament whereby parliamentarians and ministers are
2:11 pm
held to account for areas in which they have responsibility. one don't get rid of. morrison says his actions didn't impact anyone, but he gave the former prime minister additional powers, which he used to overrule the resources minister on an unpopular gas drilling permit before the election. legal analysts say the governor general's role, i the seeing the appointments and the lack of transparency involved weren't an investigation. so this is fundamentally inconsistent with the basic conventions of our westminster system. the government, the ministers are accountable to parliament and misleading parliament as to who exercises ministerial power is completely at odds with those conventions. this is extremely unorthodox. it is a breach of constitutional convention before the prime minister may have apologized to his colleagues, but that hasn't quelled calls from within his party for him to resign from parliament. that's a step sofa that scott marson is refusing to take. sara clark out 0 brisbin
