Liz Cheney, the former Congresswoman from Wyoming, has not dismissed the idea of launching a campaign for the Presidency in the future.
Cheney, who served as the Representative for Wyoming’s at-large congressional district from 2017 to 2023, has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and his allies.
Cheney’s term as Conference Chair, the third-highest position in the House Republican leadership, came to an end in 2021 after she repeatedly challenged Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
She was one of only ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
On @CNNSotu, Republican Congresswoman @Liz_Cheney criticizes Bill Barr for saying he would vote for Donald Trump again and tells @JakeTapper "I haven't made any decision" about running for president herself but "I'm going to do whatever's necessary to defeat Donald Trump." pic.twitter.com/DXdjVVp3Qu

Since then, Cheney has emerged as a leading voice in the Republican Party advocating for a return to traditional conservative principles and a rejection of Trump’s brand of populism.
She has not ruled out a presidential run in 2024 or beyond, telling CBS’s “Face the Nation” in November 2021 that she is “thinking about” a potential bid for the White House.
However Cheney faces significant challenges, including opposition from Trump and his allies, who have sought to purge her and other anti-Trump Republicans from the party.
Additionally, Cheney’s support for gun control measures and her vote in favor of same-sex marriage have alienated some conservative voters.
NEW: RINO Liz Cheney says Donald Trump represents the “Putin wing of the Republican Party.”
Just a reminder that Putin waited until Joe Biden was president to invade Ukraine.
Another reminder: Vladimir Putin says he hopes Biden wins in the 2024 election.
Why? Because he is… pic.twitter.com/qAb07TktMa

Despite these challenges, Cheney has remained committed to her principles and has shown a willingness to take on Trump and his allies directly.
No matter what the media might say, Liz Cheney does not have even a snowballs chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination.
Liz Cheney says that Donald Trump is dangerous because he represents the “Putin wing of the Republican Party.”
I say that Liz Cheney is dangerous because she represents the Democrat wing of the Republican Party.
