A simmering fight among House Republicans over former President Donald Trump’s role in the party s future will play out next week in a closed-door battle over who should lead the GOP conference.
Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican and staunch foe of the former president, faces a challenge to her role as House Republican Conference chairwoman by lawmakers who say her anti-Trump tweets and comments are not helping the party regain the House majority in 2022.
