In a vote of the full Republican caucus this week, Representative Liz Cheney is set to lose her leadership position. While left-leaning articles highlight that Cheney’s loss of leadership position highlights that the January impeachment by the 10 GOP lawmakers was just a momentary blip of resistance in a party still tied to Trump, right-leaning articles highlight that Cheney has increasingly frustrated fellow members of the leadership team by publicly criticizing former President Donald Trump.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that if Cheney gets dumped this week, it will highlight how much the January impeachment by the 10 GOP lawmakers was just a momentary blip of resistance in a party still tied to Trump. Pro-impeachment Republicans have vocally defended their vote and Cheney but have not sought to link their futures to it.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy claims Cheney is incapable to “carry out the message” for the GOP going forward. Set to take Cheney’s place is representative Elise Stefanik, a moderate upstate New York Republican handpicked by Donald Trump.
A right-leaning article by Washington Examiner highlights that Cheney has increasingly frustrated fellow members of the leadership team by publicly criticizing former President Donald Trump. McCarthy’s GOP critics say the votes on Sunday are there to push her out.
