The vote of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as conference chair sorta pretty much seals the deal. What was her message?
“I believe that voters determine the leader of the Republican Party and President Trump is the leader they look to.”
Graveyard Mitch avoided challenging the move from Rep. Liz "conservative icon but Trump Disloyalist" Cheney. He had his moment after voting not to convict. Time for him to go back to gravedigging. This is the "moderate" position in the national party, I guess: you don't need to continue to bow down to Trump to retain good standing. But, are there any Cheney anti-Trump level leaders in the Republican Senate caucus?
Anyway, if Trump is your "leader," you are disqualified from having any moral right to control. Republican control of the House in 2023 has to be seen as simply anti-republican. It's not a party thing alone on that level. Stefanik's vote btw was comparable to the votes to disqualify the electors though this time around thirty didn't vote.
