House Minority Whip Steve Scalise has called to replace Liz Cheney, the third highest ranking Republican leader in the House of Representatives – whose position has become increasingly unstable in recent weeks.
Despite surviving a February party conference ballot by 145 to 61, Ms Cheney is facing an uphill struggle as some members of her own party continue to move against her.
Two unnamed Congressional sources told Reuters that a House Republican Conference vote on Ms Cheney could happen by as early as 12 May.
