Jordan Says ‘Votes Are There’ to Oust Cheney From House Republican Leadership
There are enough votes to remove Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her position as House GOP Conference chair, according to a top Republican member.
Cheney, the No. 3 GOP member in the lower chamber due to her position, is facing pressure because of her continued attacks on former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, summarized the problem during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News.
“You can’t have a Republican conference chair reciting Democrat talking points. You can’t have a Republican conference chair taking a position that 90 percent of the party disagrees with, and you can’t have a Republican Party chair consistently speaking out against the individual who 74 million Americans voted for,” he said.
