Lisa Desjardins:
The future of the House Republican Caucus is — Conference is still unclear right now as I speak to you, Judy.
The House Republicans have been meeting for now over two hours. They have not yet decided whether they will vote on Liz Cheney's future or not. But one of their other top leaders, the number two Republican, exited the meeting when they went on a short break to take votes on the House floor and said he wants his Republicans to deal with this tonight.
What that means is, we expect a long night of speeches, kind of a family feud behind closed doors.
Liz Cheney, we know, I can report, herself spoke to her fellow Republicans and said she does not apologize for her vote to impeach President Trump.
But we also know, behind the scenes, she has been calling nearly every member of her 211-member conference to try and keep her job. One factor in her favor, the big boss, the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, the top Republican, walked out of the meet during this break and said he does support Cheney. He spoke in favor of her, and that's in her favor.
But there are many who criticize her. So, tonight, we're still waiting to see what happens to the number three leader in the House Republican caucus.
