Cheney Challenger Says House GOP Must Work With Trump
The congresswoman who is attempting to supplant Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) in the House GOP leadership team on Thursday appeared on a program hosted by Steve Bannon, a onetime adviser to President Donald Trump, and said that House Republicans need to work with the former commander-in-chief.
