House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told GOP colleagues to anticipate a vote Wednesday on whether to oust Representative Liz Cheney, a strong critic of former President Donald Trump, as their third-ranking party leader.
“Having heard from so many of you in recent days, it’s clear that we need to make a change,” McCarthy wrote in a letter to rank-and-file Republicans on Monday.
