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."

Her hatred is aging her very poorly.
Globalist POS with ties to the CCP.
I hope she gets every vote of her 100 supporters.
What would you expect from Bush 2.0 ?
Fist bump Bidxen last nite.
At least she doesn't hide her priorities !
That is the extent of Bidxen's bi-partisan participation !
Goes to show she has no idea on what’s going on outside the Beltway.
I’m almost to the point of saying ‘let it Burn’
Good luck with that.
Run on that, Liz.
With the FU attitude she has taken towards the American People, shouldn’t the residents of Wyoming be Demanding her entire Family leave their State and maybe go to Venezuela where her kind lives
scared much?
Lol! Now that’s always been the tricky part.
Geezus! What the heck is wrong with her? She sounds like she’s fricken MENTAL!
And President Trump will be campaigning even harder to make sure she loses. And she WILL lose.
Hey - if she wants to run for the Democratic candidate for President, Godspeed.
Trump needs to get out and endorse one candidate, and the other challengers need to respect Trump’s wishes. Those that don’t and still run are traitors.
She has lost it.
Well at least she knows she's Toast.
Did she fall and bump her head somewhere, or is she just that stupid naturally????
With three clucking hens at home, I can see why Dick was always out traveling around the world.
Weed out all back-stabbing people from office.
