"We really did have a terrific vote tonight, terrific time this evening laying out where we're going to do going forward as well as making clear we're not going to be divided and we're not going to be in a situation where people can pick off any member of leadership," Cheney told reporters after the vote. "It was very resounding acknowledgment that we need to go forward together and in a way that helps us beat back the really dangerous and negative Democrat policies."
Minority Whip Steve Scalise said the group aired their grievances, but ultimately the conference "came out much stronger," he said.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, said he voted for Cheney. “I supported Liz,” Crenshaw told the pool.
Cheney faced a great deal of political blowback among her Republican colleagues most loyal to Trump when she announced she would vote to impeach him. The next day, on Jan. 13, she was joined by nine other Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the Capitol insurrection that left five people dead. The vote was 232-197 on the single article of impeachment that charged him with "incitement of insurrection.”
