Elise Stefanik cheered by House GOP leaders, freshman women on election as Republican Conference chair
Fox News
Top House GOP leaders and a stream of freshmen Republican women congratulated Rep. Elise Stefanik on her election as the House Republican Conference chair Friday morning just two days after members ousted Rep. Liz Cheney from the gig over her condemnations of former President Trump.
"I want to congratulate Elise Stefanik and welcome her to the leadership team. I want to thank Chip Roy as well, we had a healthy debate and a good election," McCarthy said, nodding to the bid Roy, R-Ariz., put up for conference chair himself. "We've got a lot of work to do on this leadership team," McCarthy added before launching into criticism of congressional Democrats and President Biden.More Related News
