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.

Right - she’s the future of the party, that’s the ticket
CNN FAKE NEWS.
Pour that money down that rathole!
Fake story.
But not Republican voters. So, I could care less if the big donors are wasting their money. 🙂
Democrats and Assistant Democrats
Hmmm... Wondered why she always has the strange look on her face...
Maybe not, a lot of good Wyomians will be happy to take their money - for ad's, hotel rooms, car rentals, etc. Then they'll go vote for her opponent.
She can’t win in her home state...but is seen a presidential candidate.
yawn
They don’t only hate President Trump, they hate US.
Yea, okay.... Have no doubt the GOPe folks her dad knows are all writing the checks they always have... must be nice to have so much money you know you are burning it but can do it anyway.
CNN is running out of lies——so they’re lying about the lies that people don’t care about, that they’re lying.
Sounds like Beta in Texas LOL.
“But several Republicans have said it’s not out of the question she could seek the GOP nomination for president if Trump runs again.”
She would fare worse than the ‘son of a mailman’ and lose every state.
Bush Leaguers want their party back and they want you to go back to re-electing amnesty candidates.
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.
I just hope to heck that some opportunist even semi-decent in Wyoming is filing to run as a Democrat in case Cheney and her billionaire friends can pull this off. Enough cross-over Democrats + Rino Republicans could be embarassing!
Too much winning?
