Local Congressmen Rodney Davis and Darin LaHood have not said whether they voted to oust Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney as the House Republican Conference Chair this morning. Cheney was removed early this morning in a closed-ballot vote by colleagues.
House Republican leadership had said in previous weeks that Cheney’s open fight with former-President Donald Trump had become a distraction and that she should not serve in a leadership position in which the job is to unify the party as it seeks to combat current President Joe Biden’s agenda, as well as hopes of winning back the U.S. House in the 2022 elections.
