He is not weighing in on the matter.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is not weighing in on whether Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo,), the No.3 Republican in the House, is a “good fit” for leadership. Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman asked McCarthy during House Republicans’ legislative retreat “if Cheney is still a good fit for his leadership team.” The California Republican responded by saying it was a “question for the conference.” Additionally, he suggested that “if you’re at this retreat and talking about anything besides policy, you’re ‘not being productive.’” Cheney is one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump on the charge of “incitement of insurrection.” That vote spurred some lawmakers to push to strip her of her leadership position. In the aftermath of the Jan.6 insurrection, Cheney has made it clear that she does not believe Trump should be seen as a leader of the Republican Party.
