More Republicans have raised concern that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is distracting the party from the GOP policy agenda and hurting its chance to take back the House majority in 2022.

“This idea that you just disregard President [Donald] Trump is not where we are,” Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) said on Friday during an interview with Axios. “And frankly, he has a lot to offer still and has offered a lot. He wants to help us win the House back.”
