Former President Donald Trump is endorsing North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for the third-highest position in the House GOP caucus.
In a statement Wednesday, Trump called Stefanik a far superior choice for GOP Conference Chair compared to Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who currently holds the position.
Party leaders are deciding whether to oust Cheney for criticizing Trump for his efforts to overturn the presidential election and incite the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump called Cheney a warmongering fool in his statement. The 2020 presidential election was not stolen, Cheney responded in a tweet. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.
