A vote to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her position Republican conference chair is expected this week, led by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

The conservative Cheney wrote a Washington Post op ed saying Republicans are at a “turning point” and that the party “must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution.”
