Never-Trumper Saved By Secret Ballot Vote

Never-Trump GOP Rep Liz Cheney has survived a vote to remove her from leadership.

She was one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump.

Of course, in order to protect her, the GOP establishment had a secret ballot vote.

JUST IN: Liz Cheney has managed to cling on to her leadership job, sources tell me. vote was 145-61

House just voted in a secret ballot to keep her. Comes after tense, four hour meeting where dozens of members spoke their mind.

(and to clarify, 145 Republicans voted AGAINST the resolution calling for Cheney to step down. Just 61 voted FOR it.)

Only the GOP would keep someone in leadership who has a 10% approval rating among her own voters. https://t.co/NsGfaaJfq9
