House Republicans could vote to remove Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney as soon as next week, sources told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday.
The increasingly embattled Cheney survived a move to oust her earlier this year after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump, but a new round of anti-Trump comments, as well as her foreign and domestic policy positions, have put her further at odds with the GOP conference, Republicans told the Washington Examiner.
“She’s out of sync,” a Republican leadership source told the Washington Examiner. “She’s not helping Republicans win back the House.”
The vote on whether to remove Cheney could occur as early as May 12, a GOP source told the Washington Examiner.
Sources told the Washington Examiner that New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik is jockeying to replace Cheney as conference chairwoman and appears to be favored by GOP leaders.
Another possible candidate, Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks of Indiana, will not run for the position, an official in his office confirmed.
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has grown increasingly frustrated with Cheney, who holds the No. 3 leadership position in the House GOP.
**SNIP**
While Cheney survived a February leadership challenge, Republicans say she was aided by a plea at that time from McCarthy, who urged the disgruntled conference not to vote to remove her.
"This time, McCarthy is not doing that," the source said. "It's going to give rank-and-file members cover to vote against her."
Without the backing of top leadership, the source said, "She's toast."

Why wait a week?
The Lizard needs to exit. Stage Left.
Wonder what Luntz is whispering to McCarthy at night, in the quiet, of their little retreat.
Which one is biting the pillow?
Good question. I defer to my sense of self censorship.
Two weeks ago, as I drove into Cheyenne WY from Colorado, I saw a giant billboard sign with Liz Cheney’s photo and the giant words, “Thanks, Liz Cheney, for Supporting the Constitution.”
It was obviously paid for by Leftists, probably in Colorado.
Liz Cheney is a traitor to the U.S. Constitution and has no business representing the strongly conservative Wyoming in the House of Representatives.
Get rid of this virulent Trump hater.
Another secret vote? McCarthy needs to go also and no more secret crap!
Probably paid for by the US Chamber of Commerce or Lockheed Martin or similar.
She is bought/paid for and they don’t want to lose their investment.
McCarthy is hanging on by a THREAD also!!
So McCarthy who shares a bunk bed with the puts Frank Lutz isn’t backing that traitorous Liz Cheng anymore?
You don’t say.
The swamp loses another rat.
One of her job priorities, and she is working against it. Time to go.
