Washington Post: “Cheney is the only candidate who has declared a desire for the post. If she is chosen in next week’s Republican leadership elections, it would mark a swift ascent for Cheney, 52, who was first elected to the House in 2016 but has long shown a desire to climb the GOP ranks.”
Her father, Dick Cheney, held the same post from 1987 to 1989, when he stepped down to become George H.W. Bush’s secretary of defense.
