Rep. Liz Cheney's role as GOP conference chair facing renewed jeopardy amid Trump feud
Fox News
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s ongoing feud with former President Donald Trump has sparked discussions among senior House GOP leadership about her future as the party’s conference chair, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Cheney has emerged as one of Trump’s prominent critics within the GOP since January, when she was among 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him over his role in the Capitol riot. House GOP leaders are said to be concerned that the public war of words is at odds with Cheney’s role as conference chair, a position that dictates party messaging. "When you have only so much time, she wants to talk about Trump, not the people who are running the country into the ground," one source said. As conference chair, Cheney is the third highest-ranking Republican in the House and the most senior GOP woman in Congress. In February, she defeated a push by Trump loyalists to oust her as conference chair following a tense closed-door meeting about her leadership.More Related News
