US House Republicans Expected to Oust Liz Cheney from Top Party Leadership Post
Voice of America
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are poised to remove Representative Liz Cheney from her party leadership post over her criticism of former President Donald Trump’s claims of fraud in last November’s presidential election.
The caucus is expected to vote Wednesday to oust the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney from her post as chair of the House Republican Conference, the third-highest position in House Republican leadership, responsible for communicating the party’s message to the general public. Cheney, the lone representative for the western state of Wyoming, has steadfastly denounced former President Trump’s claims that he, and not Democrat Joe Biden, was the legitimate winner of the November election, despite his campaign losing numerous court challenges to overturn the final results in key states that he lost.More Related News
