Bobbie and Bill Kilberg were expecting a few dozen people for their fundraiser Monday for GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, an intimate cocktail party they were planning at their home in McLean, Virginia.
But in the weeks since the Republican National Committee voted to censure Cheney for her involvement in the ongoing House select committee investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the couple was flooded with requests to come and meet the congresswoman and the event's special guest, Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney.
So many people RSVP'd yes that Monday's event was moved to another, larger venue. The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.
The donor interest isn't all for Cheney's reelection bid for her House seat in Wyoming. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.
"We are moving beyond Donald Trump," Bobbie Kilberg told CNN. "Enough, already. Enough's enough."
Kilberg and other allies insist Cheney remains focused on her reelection to the House this year, which includes a daunting primary challenge from her onetime adviser Harriet Hageman. Trump has endorsed Hageman, who has all but cleared the field of Republican challengers, and defeating Cheney remains one of the former President's top priorities in the midterm cycle.
But several Republicans have said it's not out of the question she could seek the GOP nomination for president if Trump runs again.
"Would it surprise me? Not even in the slightest," said Landon Brown, a state representative in Wyoming and one of the few elected Republicans there publicly backing Cheney in the primary.

I hope that is true.
It saddened me to see her prevail up there.
I had an invitation. I guess I’ve done other events in Northern VA and am on the proper lists.
The problem was too many candidates declared, which opened to door to a divide and conquer strategy by Liz. But, they seem to be coalescing behind one candidate now.
Her and fat man Hogan....
I will bet the Liz gets a ton of Democrat crossover votes.
Bawhaaa ... yeah we’re lining behind liz alright....to give her a stiff kick in the ass all the way to the street!
The RINOs forgot about the 2016 primary.
OK, that’s funny.
LOL
There is a big divide between the interests of the “donor class” and actual Republican voters. This is why we get RINOs.
A RINO is somebody who will vote with the Dems, in exchange for the Dems allowing him to get legislation passed which benefits his donors.
Yup, and by linking to cnn, we are putting money in its pocket with evety click.
I think the average American of both parties have had enough of mean, liberal women and don’t want them in charge of anything.
Hmmm... Wondered why she always has the strange look on her face...
...............................................
Bwahahahaha LMAO!
The crossover bill that was introduced here in Wyoming was killed. Fortunately most everyone in Wyoming hates Liz.
McLean, Virginia is home of the CIA and one of the richest counties in America. At last count, 15 of the top 20 richest counties in America are in the DC area.
.....................................
All true except that McLean is a city not a county.
Just give us their effin’ names!!!!!
And this why we do not see the list Washington DC donors to Liz Cheney. As said above, those are her constituents. Her voters.
Do you need dollars to remain on their list?
First rule of intelligence. Know Thy Enemy.
