Cheney isn't fighting McCarthy push to replace her in leadership

Liz Cheney is not fighting to hold onto her job as House GOP conference chair, even as top Republican leaders openly campaign to replace her in the No. 3 spot.

To the frustration of many fellow Republicans, Cheney has continued to clearly state her positions on Donald Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and on the Jan. 6 vote to certify Trump's loss. And Cheney has been telling people that if holding onto her leadership role requires having to lie or stay quiet, she doesn’t believe that’s a price worth paying, according to a source familiar with her thinking.


It’s a remarkable turn of events for Cheney, a conservative scion once viewed as a rising force within the GOP and even floated as a possible future speaker. Her current lack of action is also a 180-degree turn from just a few months ago, when Cheney was actively whipping to keep her leadership post — a job once held by her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney — amid an effort by ultra-conservatives to oust her. Cheney ended up cruising to victory in February in a 145-61 secret ballot vote.

She was meeting with Paul Ryan in secret. I guess Paul couldn't help her. Guess Fox News will have a new host soon.
