House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said members of his party are questioning whether Representative Liz Cheney can continue in her leadership role as she continues to criticize former President Donald Trump, a sign that her days as GOP conference chair may be numbered.
“I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair, to carry out the message,” McCarthy said on Fox News Tuesday. “We all need to be working as one if we we’re able to win the majority. Remember, majorities are not given, they are earned. And that’s about the message about going forward.”
