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.

Because if you lose while running for a lower-level office this guarantees a shoo-in when running for a higher office.
Truly an evil person. Very smart, conniving and an egomaniacal mendacious reprobate. Hopefully Utah in 2026 will send him back to Massachusetts or Michigan never to sit in any public office chair again. I’m not holding my breath however. The average resident of Utah, are similar to the Windsor Clan in ways…
Mormons vote Mormon. End o story
Romney hopes to become president of the world as a Mormon god, one day.
You have to go some to be the dumbest people in congress but they may have reached that level.
She knows (as any imbecile would know) that she has zero chance of winning the ‘24 primaries.
What she also knows is that the GOPe and the media will collude to ensure she has a spot on the stage for the debates — no matter what she’s polling at the time...
Mitt, poster child for a lack of character and integrity.
A man who will say anything to get approval.
And yet there are STILL people who think I was wrong for refusing to vote for Romney for president.
“President of what? “
She is such an unloyal , no-account, do-nothing, know-nothing, loud-mouthed idiot. She is a horrible carpet bagger in Wyoming. President? Ha, ha.
That is a fact!!!
Between tipping over an island and visiting 57 states, there have really been some absolutely ignorant people in politics...
And the number is growing...
Not after last Monday
One would think the nice people of Utah could do much better than elect Romney.
I didn’t vote for him but I was living in California, so I could afford to indulge myself, if I had lived in a state where my presidential vote mattered I would probably have tried to force myself to vote for him.
It is easier making such decisions when your vote can’t make a difference.
If Mitt has a primary opponent, also Mormon, that covers your point.
She should switch parties, I am sure the Democrats would allow her to primary in each state.
Harry Reid a yurd leftist from a very conservative state yet Mormon and always destroys any challenger
What an Fing jerk.
again a republican mormon challenger after what has happened could be a republican mormon challenger
