Liz Cheney would 'find it very difficult' to support DeSantis because of Trump similarities

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., wouldn't commit to throwing her weight behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if he were the GOP presidential candidate in 2024 because of his similarities to former President Donald Trump.

"I think that Ron DeSantis has lined himself up almost entirely with Donald Trump, and I think that’s very dangerous," Cheney said during an interview at a house party last week, according to the New York Times.

Cheney, who faces an uphill climb to keep her seat in Congress during next week's Wyoming primary election, said she "would find it very difficult" to support DeSantis in a general election, but also brushed off talk that she would change parties.

"I’m a Republican," she said during the interview, though she argued that the party "may not be" salvageable in the short term because it is "very sick" and "is continuing to drive itself in a ditch and I think it’s going to take several cycles if it can be healed."

However, Wyoming Republicans have made Cheney an outcast in her own party as she has continued her crusade against Trump, with recent polling showing the incumbent trailing challenger Harriet Hageman by more than 20 points.

Her very plausible defeat has led some to speculate the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is building up toward a bid for the White House, though she told attendees at the party that she is focused on her primary challenge and her work on the Jan. 6 committee.

I can’t imagine a situation where this even slightly qualifies as news.

The real question is, will she continue to support Biden or does she plan to vote for his primary opponent?

Before all this Jan 6 nonsense picked up, Liz Cheney and her father was considered Nazi war criminals by the MSM and Liberals, now that she’s bashing Trump and now DeSantis she’s the darling of the left.

It’s disgusting but you have to expect from people who see the political relevancy being put in the dust bin of history and hopefully never to be seen again

In ten days, Liz Cheney will be an ex-politician who was booted to the curb by her own constituents. Who cares what she thinks about Ron DeSantis?

As she will soon discover, most republicans find it impossible to support Cheney.
