Cheney has come under criticism from former President Trump
Trump endorsed Stefanik on Wednesday, saying that she is a “far superior choice” to the “warmongering” Cheney and one who will advance his populist “America First” agenda.
Stefanik’s rise to the powerful position would mark an apparent shift in the Republican Party from having less to do with promoting conservative values and more to do with loyalty to Trump.

However, Johnson is reportedly not the only Republican concerned that Stefanik is not the best representative for the party.
The conservative organization Club for Growth on Wednesday came out against Stefanik, saying she is not conservative enough.
