They also accused Cheney of violating the trust of Wyoming voters, and claimed registered Republicans across the state and country were leaving the party because of Cheney.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Furthermore, the committee called on Cheney to \u201cimmediately resign from her position and allow the Wyoming Republican Party to nominate her replacement, and that representative Liz Cheney immediately repay donations to her 2020 campaign made by the Wyoming Republican Party and to any county party that requests reimbursement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Prior to the censure vote, House Republicans overwhelmingly voted in favor of keeping Cheney in her position as GOP Conference Chair, the third highest-ranking Republican in the House, through a secret ballot vote. Ahead of that vote, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reportedly informed Cheney that some members wanted her to apologize, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/kevin-mccarthy-liz-cheney-impeach-trump-9ca111c2-a4ac-466f-9e6a-7d51d746da6d.html\">Axios<\/a>, which cites two sources with direct knowledge of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney didn\u2019t apologize, and her team had reportedly already conducted a whip count and assured Cheney she\u2019d receive at least 142 votes. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/01\/21\/liz-cheneys-problems-pile-up-461218\">Politico<\/a>, members with an active role in trying to oust Cheney from leadership believed that they had at least 107 votes \u2014 a narrow majority \u2014 in favor of removing her. In the end, Cheney ended up winning 145 votes, and only 61 members voted for her to be removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very resounding acknowledgment that we need to go forward together and that we need to go forward in a way that helps us be back,\u201d Cheney told reporters in a press conference after the vote.<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
