McClain elected to replace Stefanik in House GOP leadership

House Republicans have chosen a fellow member to replace GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., in their party’s leadership ranks.

Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., was elected House GOP Conference Chair on Wednesday evening, the No. 4 leadership position for Republicans in the chamber.

She was the favorite to win the internal race against Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla.

McClain is already a lower-level member of leadership, serving as House Republicans’ conference secretary in the 118th Congress.

Cammack’s bid was bolstered by an endorsement from ally Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and groups like the Log Cabin Republicans and the national Young Republicans organization.

Meanwhile, McClain had support from a wide range of the Republican Conference, from House Freedom Caucus members to rank-and-file national security hawks.

Stefanik was originally intending to run for the job again before accepting President-elect Trump’s nomination to serve as his ambassador to the United Nations.

The conference chair is in charge of overseeing and executing messaging strategy within the House GOP.

It comes as the House GOP unanimously backed Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for his job again, two sources in the room told Fox News Digital.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., were also elected unanimously to return to their roles, sources said.
