From Liz Cheney to Donald Trump: winners and losers from the ... (The Guardian)

As the House January 6 committee is set to publish its report, here are some of the key standouts.

even though the January 6 hearings have been so bad for Trump they have made Ron DeSantis look like a winner simply for not being mentioned, Trump is still ahead of or level with the Florida governor, his only serious rival, in most polling regarding the GOP nominee. There are signs the party is finally sick and tired of losing, the Why: If Hawley does run, it is hard to see his treatment by the January 6 committee as too damaging to his standing on the hard right of the GOP. With the special counsel, Jack Smith, now examining Trump’s machinations, the former congressman from North Carolina cannot yet sleep easy. Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger.” That, he said, was “because to this very day the former president and his allies and supporters pledge that in the presidential election of 2024, if the former president or his anointed successor as the Republican party presidential candidate were to lose that election, they would attempt to overturn that 2024 election in the same way they attempted to overturn the 2020 election, but succeed in 2024 where they failed in 2020.” Since the hearings, Pence has continued to shape his likely challenge to Trump for the Republican nomination in 2024, conducting a fearsome balancing act: discussing his role in stopping Trump’s assault on democracy while evincing pride in what he says the Why: The panel seemed to make a political decision to portray Trump’s doggedly loyal vice-president as a hero, for not supporting the scheme to overturn Joe Biden’s win. Never far from a reference to Abraham Lincoln or the founders, Raskin provided perhaps a softer public face than Cheney, but one no less determined. Among extraordinary scenes described by Hutchinson: Trump [lunging for the wheel](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2022/jun/28/trump-tried-to-grab-cars-steering-wheel-to-go-to-capitol-hill-former-aide-testifies-video) of his vehicle when told he could not go to the Capitol with his supporters; Trump throwing food at the White House walls; and Meadows refusing to do anything at all to reign in his boss. Once the committee was in session, Cheney emerged as its star prosecutor. Winner or loser: Winner. After a year of dramatic hearings and bombshell testimony, here are some of the key winners and losers to emerge from its work.
