Rep. Elise Stafanik Elected By House To Replace Liz Cheney As GOP Conference Chair

After ousting never-Trump neocon Liz Cheney, House Republicans on Friday approved Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to their #3 leadership position on Friday in a 134-46 vote.

Stefanik easily overcame an 11th hour bid by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) for the position, while Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) - vice chair of the House GOP Conference was apparently interested in the role, but never pursued the challenge, according to the New York Post.

    The New York Republican — who previously chaired the moderate Tuesday Group and saw a rise in prominence as one of Trump’s top defenders during the first impeachment proceedings — locked down key endorsements early, with former President Trump, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) voicing their support for her candidacy.

    Stefanik was nominated for the position by freshman Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa), whom she helped get elected. Roy, meanwhile, was nominated by House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Ken Buck (R-Utah). -NY Post

Wonder how many of those dissenting were pro-Cheney protest votes, vs Stafanik not being conservative enough.

I guess this position is now open only to biological female RINOs now.

   Chip Roy (Cruz's 2016 Campaign Manager) would have been a much better person for this position, but the GOP apparently still loves their NY Liberals Centrist.

Donald Trump denounces Chip Roy's bid for U.S. House Republican leadership post: "He has not done a great job"

Roy was among a small handful of Texas Republicans who voted against overturning the election in January.

BY ABBY LIVINGSTON MAY 13, 2021


WASHINGTON — As U.S. Rep. Chip Roy made known his intent Thursday to become the third-ranking House Republican, former President Donald Trump released a statement of condemnation of the Austin Republican and reiterated his endorsement for Roy's rival for the post.

"Can’t imagine Republican House Members would go with Chip Roy—he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district," Trump said in a press release. "I support Elise, by far, over Chip!"

The "Elise" in reference is U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, an Upstate New York Republican. The flare-up illustrated the increasingly complicated fault lines within the House GOP that its leaders had hoped to put behind them. On Wednesday, House Republicans voted to oust their current conference chair, U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, over her willingness to challenge the former president's repeated efforts to undermine the public's perception of the country's election integrity and her vote to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
