Rep. Liz Cheney said in an interview with Punchbowl News Thursday that she will stand behind her vote to impeach former President Trump "every day of the week" as she faces multiple primary challengers in her 2022 reelection effort.
Cheney, R-Wyo., is the chair of the House Republican conference and has taken heat from many on the right over her vocal condemnation of Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a mob of his followers.
That has spurred Trump's wrath in multiple forums and triggered a handful of Republicans to announce primary challenges to her -- Trump said in a statement earlier this month he will endorse one of them soon.
But Cheney told Puncbbowl News that she has no plans to back away from her stance that impeaching Trump was the right thing to do.
"I'm confident I'm gonna win. It's gonna be, certainly, a challenging primary. I'm preparing for that right now. We've got multiple opponents," Cheney told the publication on a podcast that will be released in full later Thursday.
"I'm gonna fight hard and I'm not gonna take it for granted," she continued. "But I also think there are some pretty big constitutional issues at stake, and I think those are really important. So anybody who wants to get in that race and who wants to do it on the basis of debating me about whether or not President Trump should have been impeached, I'll have that debate every day of the week."
The third-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives also said in a separate press call Wednesday that speculation she might not run for reelection is "wishful thinking." She said she is "absolutely dedicated" to "earning the votes of the people of Wyoming."

Funny how the entire establishment is confident in victory. Almost as if they knew the entire thing is rigged or something.
It’s up to Wyoming citizens to fire this beotch.
Does anyone familiar with Wyoming politics have an idea what chances this pig might have in a primary?
You’re absolutely correct. In Arizona, every time a conservative candidate had a chance to beat McCain in a primary, another “conservative” would jump in and split the vote, easily handing the vote to McCain.
Now that’s freaky! It’s actually closer to Joe than Liz.
100%
Pick the best one and get the rest to hell out of it.
Do not underestimate her prospects of winning re-election fair and square. Incumbency, family connections, money, support from the corporate media and other advantages add up to a lot. And God bless her, she was duly elected and can say what she wants.
But for the life of me, I do not understand how any other Republican would volunteer to be in the same room as her, let alone allow her to remain in the House leadership. With great urgency, the Party needs to dump her and with much fanfare and humiliation.
This also increases the prospects that she will simply not run for re-election. She is too full of herself and has way, way, way too much income potential as a talking head to be a nothing burger GOP House member for very long.
Bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see how that works out for you.
She has an unlimited campaign war chest.
She also has the oppo research firm CIA/NSA/FBI LLC.
She will be very tough to beat, contrary to popular opinion here.
Face of a fruitcake.
Is it an ‘open primary’ state?
Has Trump picked one there yet?
Maybe, but the fake news doesn’t have much use for has been RINOs these days, because Republicans aren’t running DC right now.
The whole point of having RINO contributors on the fake news is to embarrass Republicans and show that the party is deeply divided.
But since Democrats are running the show, they don’t waste much time tearing Republicans down - they are too busy having a love fest with the Democrats.
That will taper off quickly. News is based on chaos and divisiveness.....................
Impeach a private citizen?
The GOP won’t support whoever it is... they will drag their feet to hurt the challenger’s campaign... it is nasty business up and down the line ... we need another solution. Republicans are the Washington Generals and Dems are the Harlem Globetrotters and the entire thing is a circus.
She’s so confident, because she knows they can create the votes she needs... just like they did for Biden.
Votes no longer matter....
The next step is bullets...
We are in that moment in between... only question is, how long that moment will last.
The 2020 election showed, votes don’t matter, they will manufacture what they need to have the person they want win...
Well, hopefully it will be moot after 2022.
election fraud is real
