Trump Ally Stefanik Confirmed As House GOP Conference Chair

US

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has been confirmed as the next House Republican Conference chair - replacing the ousted Liz Cheney (R-WY) - after a behind-closed-doors meeting saw her emerge as the winner over Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) by 134 votes to 46.

  • This means the three highest-ranking House Republican members - minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), minority whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Stefanik - are all close supporters of former President Donald Trump, with all voting against his impeachment in January and in favour of overturning Pennsylvania's Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election.
