Republicans vote to keep Cheney in leadership post amid party-defining moment

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney held on to her leadership role after a contentious, four-hour “family meeting” among GOP lawmakers on the party’s direction in the post-Trump era.

Republicans held a vote after hours of discussion and voted to keep Cheney in her role. Some conservative Republicans who are Trump supporters had sought to oust the Wyoming Republican after she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last month. The vote was 145-61 in Cheney’s favor.
