For more on Liz Cheney's defeat in her home state, KCBS Radio news anchors Eric Thomas and Melissa Culross spoke with Katie McNally, assistant professor of political science at Eckerd College in Florida who studies Congress and authored the book "Representing the Disadvantaged: Group Interests and Legislator Reputation in U.S. Congress."
