Stefanik wins House GOP vote, replacing Cheney

May 14, 2021 2:15 pm

Emily Jacobs and Juliegrace Brufke are reporting for the New York Post House Republicans approved U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik to the GOP's No. 3 leadership position May 14, officially replacing U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney who was forced out earlier this week. Stefanik landed the position on a vote of 134-46 tally after receiving an endorsement from former President Donald Trump and without a serious challenger. Speaking to reporters following her win, Stefanik thanked the former president “for his support.” “[Trump] is a critical part of our Republican team,” she said before going on to thank “the voters of New York’s 21st congressional district, whom I’m honored to represent each and every day.” While she received prominent endorsements, a good number of conservatives expressed concerns about Stefanik’s voting record, which was more moderate than her predecessor's, arguing it could hinder her ability to speak for the conference.
