The Republican National Committee will debate endorsing the removal of Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger from the House Republican caucus during its winter meeting in Salt Lake City this week.
The consideration comes after David Bossie, a close ally of former President Donald Trump and an RNC member from Maryland, submitted a resolution endorsing the removal of the two lawmakers from the House Republican caucus, an RNC official confirmed to NBC News Tuesday., would be purely symbolic in nature, but its passage would serve as yet another reminder that the party’s interests and the former president’s are one and the same.
One RNC member attending the winter meeting, Henry Barbour of Mississippi, said he wasn't in favor of Bossie's resolution. Passage of the resolution would undoubtedly please the former president, who is working to defeat Republican lawmakers — Cheney included — who voted for his impeachment last year. Should Trump run for president again in 2024, he could potentially face Cheney in the GOP primaries.
The resolution comes as some House Republicans have pushed for GOP leadership to remove Cheney from the conference. Both Cheney and Kinzinger have been deeply critical of the former president and his role in fomenting the Jan. 6 riot.reported that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., had pushed back on an effort from Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa., to boot Cheney from the conference because doing so could lead to Republicans losing committee seats.
