An expert in US politics says the Republican Party's removal of Liz Cheney from a top leadership role shows the GOP is splintering - and could lead to the formation of a breakaway party. House Republicans today voted to remove Liz Cheney from her position as the 3rd ranking member, after she refuted claims last year's election was rigged. Max Towle speaks to senior lecturer at Auckland University Dr Maria Armoudian about what this means for the GOP's future.
