Cheney political dynasty ends with recent election results
The recent election marked the end of the Cheney political dynasty, which began with Dick Cheney's rise in the 1970s. Cheney served in various influential roles, including as defense secretary and vice president, and was a key figure in the Iraq War. Cheney's legacy has been controversial, particularly due to the Iraq War's high human and financial costs. His daughter, Liz Cheney, lost her congressional seat in 2022 after opposing Donald Trump, further signaling the decline of the Cheney influence in politics. The Cheneys' shift in political alliances, including support for Kamala Harris, reflects a significant change in the political landscape. The rejection of their legacy by voters highlights a growing skepticism towards interventionist foreign policies.
