Former President Trump is no longer the leader of the Republican Party, House GOP conference chair Liz Cheney said Monday. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy should be considered the national heads of the party, she said.
"I think our elected leaders are the ones who are in charge," she said in response to a question from a reporter about the role Mr. Trump should play in the party going forward. "And I think as we look at '22 and '24, we're very much going to be focused on substance and on the issues." Cheney was among only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump after the deadly January 6 riot at the Capitol. Last week, she told reporters she hadn't invited the former president to the party's issues conference, held outside of Orlando this year. She has urged Republicans to refocus their attention on legislating and messaging.More Related News
