Top U.S. Republicans are framing their expected ouster of Representative Liz Cheney as an act of unity, despite warnings that the move could deepen divisions over former president Donald Trump

Representative Liz Cheney, pictured in the U.S. Capitol in Washington on March 9, 2021, faces ouster as chair of the 212-member House Republican Conference in a party vote expected on Wednesday.Top U.S. Republicans on Sunday sought to portray their expected ouster of Representative Liz Cheney as an act of unity, despite warnings that the move could deepen divisions over former president Donald Trump and sink party hopes in the 2022 elections.

Republicans hope to reclaim majorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives in next year’s congressional elections. Most lawmakers have sought to placate Trump and the Republican voters who enthusiastically support him, despite the loss of both chambers and the White House during his presidency.

Cheney was among 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting insurrection after hundreds of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a riot that left five people dead including a police officer.
