House GOP rep working to replace Cheney with NY’s Stefanik in leadership role

A member of the House Republican leadership team has been whipping votes for New York Rep. Elise Stefanik to replace House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney as the third-ranking GOP member.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) told The Post on Tuesday that he is confident the upstate New York congresswoman has the support needed to obtain the position.
Cheney has come under fire for her criticisms of former President Donald Trump and split with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), with a conference vote expected as soon as next week to determine whether she will retain her post.
Stefanik, 36, a former chair of the moderate Tuesday Group who played a leading role in defending Trump during his impeachment hearings, has a close working relationship with McCarthy — and GOP lawmakers said they feel a female member should replace Cheney should she be ousted from her leadership role.
“I don’t know how many members have been on the whipping efforts but I’ve been actively engaged whipping for Elise Stefanik and the reason that I think we need Elise, is if you just look at what Elise has done, she’s proven that she gets this on the merits,” Reschenthaler said.

'She’s toast': Embattled Cheney could be ousted from GOP leadership next week
Susan Ferrechio, Emily Brooks 44 mins ago
House Republicans could vote to remove Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney as soon as next week, sources told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday.
The increasingly embattled Cheney survived a move to oust her earlier this year after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump, but a new round of anti-Trump comments, as well as her foreign and domestic policy positions, have put her further at odds with the GOP conference, Republicans told the Washington Examiner.
“She’s out of sync,” a Republican leadership source told the Washington Examiner. “She’s not helping Republicans win back the House.”
The vote on whether to remove Cheney could occur as early as May 12, a GOP source told the Washington Examiner.

Give Cheney baby a dandelion and send her on her way. Democrats (Biden and slick willy) have shown people how to treat women, and millions love them for it! Some times you just have to learn from your opposition, eh ?
