Liz Cheney attacked Donald Trump and her Republican colleagues and said she is considering running for president in 2024 in her first interview on Wednesday morning - just hours after losing her primary by 37 points.
The defeated GOP Representative said the U.S. is facing its biggest challenge since the Civil War and said she will do 'whatever it takes' to keep the former president out of the White House in her appearance with Savannah Guthrie on NBC's Today show.
The three-term congresswoman for Wyoming's at-large district placed the blame for her 37.4-point loss Tuesday night solely on former President Donald Trump, who backed lawyer Harriet Hageman.
She refused to accept any suggestions that her focus turned away from issues important to Wyomingites in her mission to dethrone Trump. Cheney is one of just two Republicans on the House select committee attempting to peg the Capitol attack on Trump – even though deep red Wyoming was the state with the largest population to cast their ballots for Trump in 2020.
'There are some things that have to be above politics,' she said of turning against the leader of the modern Republican Party.
While Cheney won her last primary by 73-points, she is now paying the price for turning against Trump, which also led to the Wyoming GOP censuring her and House Republicans booting her from her Conference chairwoman post.
Cheney earned only 28.9 percent of the Republican primary vote on Tuesday versus Hageman's 66.3 percent.
Cheney's next steps will be to focus on keeping Trump out of the White House, which might include a run of her own in an aim to attract anti-MAGA Republicans, right-leaning independents and even some Democrats.

Unable to carry her state as Anti-Trump but thinks she will have the rest of the country to elect her. Tad delusional.
ReplyDeleteLiz suffers delusions of adequacy. If she runs, she'll make Jeb! look good. If it weren't for crossover votes from Democrats, she'd have lost even worse.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she's ever considered going duck hunting with her father.....seems safe....
