The departure of President Donald Trump and the storming of the Capitol have reignited a long-dormant battle over the future of the Republican Party.
Today, we look at two lawmakers in the Republican House conference whose fate may reveal something about that future: Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who voted in favor of Mr. Trump’s second impeachment, and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a proponent of conspiracy theories.
Guest: Alexander Burns (https://www.nytimes.com/by/alexander-burns?searchResultPosition=0?smid=pc-thedaily), a national political correspondent for The New York Times.
