The vote, behind closed doors, highlights the grip Trump still has on the GOP, which wants to win back the House in 2022

The 212-member House GOP conference brought the long-running drama to an end behind closed doors. The decision to replace her as House GOP conference chair boldly underscores the firm grip Trump continues to exert on many Republican lawmakers, who view his support as essential to winning back the House in 2022.

“We must go forward based on truth,” Cheney told reporters after the vote. “The nation needs a party based on fundamental principles of conservatism.” Trump has kept up a steady drumbeat against Cheney, and in a statement released on Wednesday morning before the vote, he said she “is bad for our Country and bad for herself. Almost everyone in the Republican Party, including 90% of Wyoming, looks forward to her ouster — and that includes me!”
