CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Three weeks before the most significant election of her political career, Liz Cheney was nowhere to be seen as thousands of voters gathered for a massive midsummer rodeo and cowboy festival in Wyoming’s largest city.
Instead, the three-term Republican congresswoman was 1,600 miles away in Washington presiding over a U.S. House committee comprised largely of Democrats intent on exposing former President Donald Trump’s attack on democracy during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. As the cowboy fest roared back home, Cheney railed against Trump’s failures.
“Donald Trump made a purposeful choice to violate his oath of office,” she said during Thursday’s hearing.
Dean Finnerty, a rancher from Wheatland competing in the steer wrestling competition, was not moved.
“I tell you what: I voted for Cheney when she ran last time and I won’t vote for her ever again,” Finnerty said. “I don’t know if she’s representing the conservative Americans that voted her in.”
But as primary day approaches, there is also a pervasive belief among Cheney’s team that her unorthodox strategy in 2022 may put her in a stronger position for the 2024 presidential contest. Cheney’s fierce anti-Trump message as vice chairman of the congressional committee investigating the insurrection has strengthened her national brand while expanding a national network of donors and Trump critics in both parties who could boost a prospective White House run.
Cheney has yet to finalize any decisions about 2024, but she has not ruled out a presidential run as a Republican or an independent.
“The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump,” Cheney said in interview with ABC News that aired Friday. She said she would make a decision about a potential White House bid “down the road.”

Didn't work for McMuffin and it won't work for you either, lizard.
Can't. Stop. Laughing.
Liz “The Real Dick” Cheney.
I hope she goes pheasant hunting with her spastic dad.
The single most important thing to ALL Bush League Republicans is protecting the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) from Donald Trump.
“may put her in a stronger position for the 2024 presidential contest.”
That IS a hoot! Soon, it’ll be “decided to spend more time with her family”.
“I was primaried out of office by angry constituents. So, I’ll run for president! Yeah, that will show them!”
Delusional much?
“The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump,”
Really??
She might end up splitting the demoncrap vote.
AP preparing for Cheney’s canonization following her primary loss.
Democrats won’t vote for her because of her family ties to the Bush wars.
Republicans won’t vote for her because she is an assistant Democrat.
I still think she will run as VP with Pence running for Pres.
Please run for President Liz. I cannot wait to see you completely destroyed.
“Cheney’s unrelenting criticism of Trump from a Capitol Hill committee room represents the centerpiece of an unconventional campaign strategy that may well lead to her political demise, at least in the short term. Many Cheney allies are prepared for — if not resigned to — a loss in Wyoming’s Aug. 16 Republican primary against Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman”
That she’ll probably lose to a Trump backed candidate has gotta be making her completely insane. And should indicate that people still believe in him.
She’s running for Don Lemon’s job.
She might want to read about John Anderson.
Meanwhile, President Trump was one of the best presidents in American history.
ESAD from Monkey Pox, Lizard Cheney!
Kasich/Cheney!, Haley/Cheney!, Bush/Cheney, Romney/Cheney!
