Liz Cheney loses primary after continuing to face off with Trump

Fox News correspondent Rich Edson has the latest on Liz Cheney's loss in the primary election on "Special Report."

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., revealed that she spoke with President Biden following her landslide defeat in her Republican primary race last week.

"I did hear from President Biden," Cheney said. "We had a very, a very good talk. A talk about the importance of putting the country in front of partisanship."

Cheney was asked about this by ABC News' Jonathan Karl during an interview that aired Sunday on "This Week." She went on to say that she heard from "a number of other people" in recent days, including "some" of her fellow Republicans.
