Cheney's current problems intensified after the first vote on her leadership, when she doubled down on her campaign against Trump. Cheney's efforts were undoubtedly media-friendly — she was portrayed as a profile in courage by some media outlets — but many Republicans came to believe, with some reason, that she had become a distraction from the GOP's mission to oppose the Biden agenda and win back the House in 2022. Instead, Cheney seemed determined to re-fight the battles of November, 2020 to January, 2021. Thus, this leadership vote looks different from the one in early February. "I think a lot of people have changed their minds since the first vote because she just kept it going," said a second House Republican, who voted to keep Cheney in February but plans to vote to remove her now. "We're trying to go forward." The second Republican also noted that, in his view at least, Cheney's attacks on Trump reach far beyond the election challenge and Capitol riot. Millions of Republican voters view Trump's presidency as a time in which U.S. government policy moved in the direction they wanted it to move. Republican lawmakers — prominent among them Liz Cheney herself — voted for the Trump agenda. Many GOP voters appreciate Trump's accomplishments and believe those accomplishments still stand, even though his presidency ended terribly. Now, they don't see fighting Trump as a way to further the Republican agenda of opposing Biden and winning back the House.
