“There is no way that Liz will be conference chair by month’s end,” one key McCarthy ally told The Hill’s Scott Wong and Mike Lillis on Monday. “ When there is a vote, it won’t be a long conference [meeting]; it will be fast. Everyone knows the outcome.”
A second McCarthy ally added that the House minority leader is “as fed up as the rest of us” with her continued remarks about Trump, which many in the conference consider harmful to their 2022 efforts to flip the House. Cheney has maintained that the path back to the majority is by moving on from a party centric on one person and focusing on policy.
