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."

She’s just protecting her daddy because Trump knows all.
You nailed the issue. She needs one primary opponent, not one.
Remember the Chaney children were reared in McLean, VA.
When you are in a hole. Stop Digging.
Dark Cheney’s Revenge has spoken. Now let the voters speak.
Color her gone
I hate her and Dick.
Or working for Mittens...
Naw, she craves attention...................
This is good news
Let conservatives get a good look and listen to Dick in a Dress
Me thinking orange guy pissed in her rice bowl.
Living on a Congressional salary alone is tough sledding in DC and girl has to pay the bills.
She dreams of mansions funded by china bucks and all she got was a condo thanks to Trump.
Disgusting behavior.
Wholly part of the establishment
Horrible, obsessed woman.
At this point I would guess her in-state polling is leading her to actively audition for a job at MSNBC. Hence her chatter about a POTUS campaign.
Oh good. This insures her complete humiliating loss.
Very good observation. Fist bumping Biden last night is a major In Your Face to the rest of us.
I think Lizzy realizes it’s over for her so now she’s just trying to piss us off.
It working. LOL
throw her ample azz out!
You can’t fix stupid
