The perception of Republican party unity in deeply conservative states like Wyoming masks important internal divisions. In The Republican Civil War: What Liz Cheney’s Wyoming Tells Us About a Divided American Right, Stephanie Muravchik and Jon A. Shields place Wyoming at the center of a broader struggle within the GOP, in which tensions between establishment conservatives and MAGA-aligned insurgents reflect deeper conflicts over identity, class, and the party’s future.
In this AEI event, Dr. Shields will join AEI Senior Fellow Chris Stirewalt to discuss the implications of social cleavages on the contemporary conservative movement.
