Potential challenger to Elise Stefanik emerges in race to replace Liz Cheney in GOP leadership role

by Emily Brooks, Political Reporter & Carly Roman, Associate News Editor

A few Republican House members dissatisfied with Rep. Elise Stefanik's voting record are eyeing a different potential candidate to replace Rep. Liz Cheney in the caucus's leadership.

Rep. Mike Johnson is reportedly a favorite among some lawmakers who are hoping to replace Cheney with a more conservative alternative than Stefanik, who hails from New York. Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, is favored by Reps. Bob Good and Madison Cawthorn, and several other Republicans would support him should he vie for the position, a source on Capitol Hill told the Washington Examiner.

"I would proudly support Mike Johnson in the race for conference chair if he decides to run," Cawthorn, a representative from North Carolina, told the Washington Examiner. "He is a powerful conservative mind who is a happy warrior and the leader we need."

A Conservative as GOP conference chair?  That's crazy talk.

   McCarthy and McConnell are the main problem, but I'll take small steps any day of the week.  I still remember how Cruz BBQ'd Boehner.

Like it or not, the replacement needs to be a (genetic) woman or we'll start out in defensive mode.

With all due respect to my friend, Elise Stefanik, let us contemplate the message Republican leadership is about to send by rushing to coronate a spokesperson whose voting record embodies much of what led to the 2018 ass kicking we received by Democrats,” the Texas Republican [Chip Roy] wrote in a Tuesday letter to colleagues obtained by the Washington Examiner.

By all means, put in some real conservative to run against her!

Sure, by all means.  We wouldn't want the Democrats to say anything bad about us, now would we.  Let's find the most liberal female Republican we can just so the Dems will stay off our backs.

McCarthy is a weak sister if there ever were.  Don't hold your breath for anything but a RINO.

McCarthy's boyfriend, Frankie will have something to say, for sure!
