House Republicans voted to put Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in the number-three role in caucus leadership, after Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) was ousted from leadership for her criticism of former President Donald Trump.
Stefanik’s bid for Conference Chair was endorsed by Trump, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and GOP Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), in addition to other rank-and-file lawmakers. From the ultra-conservative wing of the party, Stefanik received criticism for a “liberal” voting record. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) launched a challenge to Stefanik, arguing that her record is not conservative enough and that there should not be an expedited “coronation” process to replace Cheney.
Stefanik won the support of the caucus with 134 votes in a secret ballot process that occurred with little delay on Friday morning.
The newly-elected House GOP Chair said that the American people are witnessing an "economic crisis, a border crisis, an energy crisis, and a national security crisis due to Far-Left radical policies," and vowed that House Republicans will push back on President Biden's agenda.

Elise is the best. She’ll do a great job.
Impressive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You’re the only one here that thinks that’s a good thing.
Why set the bar so low?
The best Assistant Democrat.
She’ll do what all TransRepublicans do, fake like they are conservative while advancing the left’s agenda.
Anyone who actually believes Chip Roy or the nonsense he spews out, is very foolish.
I’m just looking at her voting record.
We will never Make America Great Again with Assistant Democrats.
“Liz Cheney is part of this conference. Adam Kinzinger is part of this conference. We are unified.” - Elise Stefanik from this morning.
Chips A’Roy is dumb as a stump. The whole point to putting a woman in #3 is to keep her in the kitchen.
Voted with the Democrats more than most of the rest of the GOP.
Has never been on the side of the citizens and the rule of law when it come to fraudulently documented foreigners.
Yep, real TransRepublican.
HA - great point !
Can’t tell the players apart without a score card. And sometimes it is pretty difficult even then.
Elise Stefanik does appear to have the tacit support of Donald Trump, though. She seems to have gone from “moderate” to “MAGA”. Her mission, should she accept it, is to recruit potential Republican Congressional district candidates with high probability of winning. Liz Cheney would have surely sabotaged that.
Give me any credible link to support that ridiculous statement.
Meanwhile Chip Roy actually voted to impeach President Trump and has been preaching Dem talking points all year . He is not likely to get reelected come 2022.
Trump endorsed McCain, Romney, McConnell, Grahamnesty, Tillis, Rubio, all TransRepublicans who seek a permanent Democrat majority through amnesty for illegal aliens, the opposite of MAGA.
Look at the chart at the top.
Do you support what she voted for?
That chart is from a tweet by Chip Roy. It’s about as credible as something from Satan.
Liz Cheney was so focused on her feud w/President Trump and living in the past that she wasn't advancing Conservative principles and agenda.
That's why she's gone.
She still voted against the Trump tax cuts and for “climate action now” and still has a D- from Numbers USA.
Put as much lipstick on it as you wish, she is still a TransRepublican.
They are both bad choices. But Cheney was even worse.
McCarthy is the main guy now who needs to go.
