This week, Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives are expected to fire Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming from the third-highest-ranking job in their leadership. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been a reliably conservative vote on matters of policy. Ten days later, with nine other House Republicans, she voted in favor of Trump’s impeachment. Last week, McCarthy signaled that it was time for Cheney to step down as House Republican conference chair. Cheney is in the right, of course — but so far, Trump is winning the battle for the GOP’s future.
