McCarthy sets Wednesday vote on Liz Cheney leadership ouster

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy set a Wednesday vote for removing Rep. Liz Cheney from her Republican leadership post in the chamber, saying it was clear that he and his GOP colleagues “need to make a change.” Cheney, R-Wyo., seems all but certain to be tossed from her No. 3 House GOP job after repeatedly challenging former President Donald Trump's false assertions pinning his November reelection defeat on widespread voting fraud. McCarthy has signaled his desire to remove Cheney for several weeks.
