WASHINGTON—.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and Mr. Trump backed the New York Republican for a promotion on Wednesday, as party leaders aired their growing frustrations with Rep. Liz Cheney , the current House Republican Conference chairwomanMs. Stefanik, 36 years old, would succeed Ms. Cheney as the only woman in the House GOP leadership, and would hold a position that puts her in charge of the conference’s messaging effort.
Unlike Ms. Cheney, Ms. Stefanik has been a vocal supporter of Mr. Trump, particularly over the last two years. It is the most visible difference between the two and one that highlights the way that Ms. Stefanik—who came to Congress as a relative moderate and occasional critic of Mr. Trump—remade herself for an era in which many Republicans define themselves by their loyalty to or distance from the former president.
“She certainly would describe herself still as willing to work with Democrats,” said Don Levy, the director of the Siena College Research Institute, known for its polling in New York state. “However, where she has made the most headlines is being an ardent supporter of Trump.”
She rose by having no morals, no ethics, no brains. She is ‘ambition without merit, defined. The GOP is pushing her to stay in Congress so Rudy’s son can run for N.Y. Governor.
The GOP getting smaller by the minute. Usually political parties try to expand their base. In this case it is going to become a Tea Party if they keep ousting parts of it. Fine with me.
Of course. She was kicked off of Harvard’s Institute of Politics for lying about the election. Makes her highly qualified for leadership in the GOP these days. 🙄
He were not interested
POS elise
So Trump is no longer president but he’s still controlling everything? (I’m stupid about politics)
Congress shouldn't operate as peasants to the executive branch. This way of doing things undermines Congress as an institution.
You guys suck at this journalism thingy….
The GOP is a three ring circus. Period.
You mean she’s willing to advance conspiracy theories for Trump. Nice headline.
She is what is wrong with the Republican Party!
Fluff pieces for traitors. Kewl.
The fall will surely be brutal when it happens
*descended
She didn't 'Rise'. A 'Yes' person and nothing more. Just a tool for Kevin McCarthy and the other Trump sycophants to use for their own goals. They will throw her under the bus the moment she does something they don't want.
Are you fucking kidding with this article?
Trashy opportunist
She has no morals
The GOP continues to prove it is the party of Trump, and that's sad. This has nothing to do with policy differences with Cheney and should have conservatives really dispirited
The GOP continues its descent into a Mediocracy
Wonder what else she's done for Trump....
