Four takeaways from the thousands of pages of interview transcripts from the House committee examining the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

The 2022 general election is just a few days away and this year, several Republican candidates that lost their primary bids are running as write-ins or Independents. And while this has occurred in previous elections, this year is different from the rest.

There has been a lot of national attention on the upcoming general elections. But here in Wyoming, University of Wyoming political scientist Jim King told Wyoming Public Radio's Kamila Kudelska that this election season isn't that different from past ones. But, King said there was one unusual thing in the primaries.

With the midterm elections one week away, political rhetoric reaching new levels and the coming release of the report by the January 6 committee, there is a lot of politics playing out across the country. One key player in all of this is Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Judy Woodruff sat down with Rep. Cheney and discussed the rising political violence and the attack on Paul Pelosi.

Pence said he has been "disappointed in the partisan taint" of the House January 6 committee where Cheney serves as vice chair.
