Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) warned on Monday that forcing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) out of House leadership over her criticism of former President Trump will cost the party votes heading into the 2022 midterm and 2024 elections.

Expelling Liz Cheney from leadership won’t gain the GOP one additional voter, but it will cost us quite a few.

His tweet came shortly after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told House Republicans in a letter to expect the vote on removing Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, as soon as Wednesday.
“Having heard from so many of you in recent days, it’s clear that we need to make a change. As such, you should anticipate a vote on recalling the conference chair this Wednesday,” McCarthy wrote in the letter to his conference.

I believe the GOP has lost a ton of votes long before this controversy. Most voters know by now the GOP is just the political arm of the Trump cult and the few remaining Republicans not members of the cult should be going elsewhere.
