Rep.
Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is the odds on favorite to replace the embattled Rep.
Liz Cheney (R-WY) as Chair of the Republican Conference, the third-highest position in the House GOP. Cheney has run afoul of her party because she has called out
Donald Trump’s Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him. House Republicans are expected to oust Cheney in a vote next week.
One might be inclined to think that Stefanik, 36, must have a well-established history of staking out firm positions deeply entrenched in the soil of MAGA-land, especially given that Trump has endorsed her for the number three position.
