Sen. Mitt Romney said he could see Rep. Liz Cheney running for president in the future.

Still, Romney said he hopes Cheney wins her primary in Wyoming on Tuesday.

Cheney has not ruled out a 2024 presidential bid.

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, a critic of former President Donald Trump and ally to GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, said he could see the congresswoman run for president in the future.

Cheney is fighting to hold on to her seat in Wyoming's Republican primary on Tuesday. The three-term lawmaker faces a tough reelection challenge against her main rival, Trump-backed opponent Harriet Hageman. Polls have shown Hageman in a double-digit lead.

"Her political future is something I'm sure she's considered. I hope she wins. I've hosted fundraisers for her. But I recognize that in the time of Trump that may not be possible," Romney told Insider at the Capitol on August 3.

"We'll see what happens. But I don't think she's gone by any means. I wouldn't be surprised to see her run for president," he added.

Trump has sought to oust Cheney from Congress since she voted to impeach him over the January 6, 2021 Capitol siege. Among the other pro-impeachment House Republicans who faced primaries against Trump-endorsed challengers this year, three have lost and two have won.

As a resident of Utah, I wish this weirdo would just drop dead.

You’d think so........

Hmmmm, it appears dementia is contagious.

And now he has officially outed himself as an enemy of the state. We always knew he was a traitor.

In other words he knows sh’s toast but here is some encouragement

[KC Burke]

I hope she does run. She will suck up a lot of the RINO money and go down in flames.

Who was behind Mitt Romney besides Hugh Hewitt? I don’t understand how he became the nominee and almost the nominee in 2008. He was a MA governor.

Romney won the nomination because his rivals were a bunch of has-beens and never-will-bes.

Cheney/RINOmney, Traitors for President

They might be as evil as the rats 🐀

How I regret voting in 2012 for this POS (and no, he would not have been any better than Obama).

[Right Wing Vegan]

It should be noted that 99.9% of FR voted for this sack of shit to be the leader of the free world....not too bright!

I wasn't on FR then but most of my conservative friends were livid about me casting for Darrell Castle lolz

My view was and still is a RINO is more dangerous than an open socialist.

Why? He helps the democraps more where he is. That’s his ‘job’.

[AlaskaErik]

She can run as a DemocRAT. I would refuse to vote for her if she was on the Republican ticket, just like I refused to vote for Romney in 2012.

[M Kehoe]

I hope Mitt Romney gets shingles.

Romney’s thinking that Cheney has even a chance for nomination for President displays his low IQ. It comes from being a “never Trumper,” and Utah’s elevations. (Pifft)

In a few years, Romney will be in a mental institution!

[BatGuano]

I will not vote for Romney again. Having Cheney on the ticket will not enhance it one bit.

Two losers are two too many to take!

Exactly what President Trump said at a rally just a few weeks ago.

Just die you MFer

You LOST to a Kenyan

[McGavin999]

I was talking about his senate re-election but you brought up a great point. Two massively hated expletive running for President would be hysterical

[Manic_Episode]

Second guessing a year early is not so easy.

So you prefer this crowd over the Bush Leaguers? You been outing yourself for many moons here.
