Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) correctly predicted Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) ouster Wednesday as the Republican Conference chair; he said it proves Republicans are united behind taking back the House majority.
Gooden released a statement after House Republicans voted to remove Cheney as the third-ranking Republican. He said it proves Republicans will work together to regain the House majority.
“Today’s vote shows that Republicans are united behind one goal: taking back the House,” he said.
In the runup to Republicans’ Wednesday vote, Republicans, including House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), became increasingly frustrated with Cheney serving as a distraction from fighting against Democrats’ legislative agenda.
