HEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney was increasingly open on Wednesday about considering a 2024 presidential campaign after soundly losing a Republican primary to a challenger backed by former President Donald Trump.
Speaking to NBC in the wake of her loss, the third-term congresswoman called Trump “a very grave threat and risk to our republic,” and said defeating him will require “a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents — and that’s what I intend to be part of.”
She declined to say if she would run for president but conceded it’s “something that I’m thinking about.”
The primary results — and the more than 35-point margin of her defeat — were a powerful reminder of the GOP’s rapid shift to the right. A party once dominated by national security-oriented, business-friendly conservatives like her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, now belongs to Trump, animated by his populist appeal and, above all, his denial of defeat in the 2020 election.

Hey Lizzie, you can't win your [supposed] "home state", but you "think" you could win the presidency? You're gonna need Joe Biden's crack (and ON crack) Fraud Team and a LOT of help from rigged voting machines!
“defeating him will require “a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents — and that’s what I intend to be part of.”
Yep, she’s so vengeful that she’ll run as an independent to take a couple of percentages points off of Trump and keep him from winning. She’s one loathsome b**ch!
Well, he got a lesbo daughter. Isn't that sort of like having half a son?
If she was a representative that had grown unpopular in her own district, that might be understandable...it might even be commendable. But in Wyoming, there is one. ONE. One congressional district, so her rejection was not just the people in her district, but in fact, a state-wide repudiation.
Maybe she and Mike Pence can team up. Commiecrat dream team.
Seems that Team Zuckerberg has already promised to STEAL THE 2024 ELECTION FOR HER, just as they did for Biden!
There's NO OTHER WAY to explain her IDIOCY after GETTING HER ARSE KICKED LAST NIGHT.
Does anyone,including her, even think she has a chance?
She won’t get Republicans to vote for her in the primary, and Democrats won’t cross over when their 2024 primary is likely to be highly competitive. Maybe she can hook up with that Egg McMuffin guy and go independent and get less than 1%.
She loses by @40% and thinks that will propel her as a spoiler?
She got 0 chance of being President.
Most of y’all think this is Cheney being delusional and actually believing she will win in 2024. It’s not. Cheney doesn’t need the job, she and her family are worth upwards of 100 million and can get any busoness leader or politician to pick up the phone and listen when they call.
What it really is is a money laundering operation, taking lobbyist and superpac money and using it to hire a small army of DC based pollsters, journos, recently college grads, etc. Keeping their otherwise worthless should from having to actually learn a marketable skill and denying them to other republican candidates. Doubtful Cheney would even get on the ballot in most states, but when that real nevertrump candidate emerges from the scrum in the 2024 primary, she’ll be able to play kingmaker by transferring her small army of quislings to that person.
If she can’t get 30% in a teeny tiny state where her family roots are, she has the hubris to run for President of the UNITED STATES?!
Cheney Pence 2024............the bigest disaster since the hindenburg crash, the titanic sinking and the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 all rolled in to one.
There wouldn’t be enough popcorn on earth for that.
She will run on an independent ticket for the sole purpose of trying to pull votes away from Trump...
She knows she can’t win, but she thinks she might pull enough votes that Trump will not be re-elected....
She is nothing more than a complete ASS!!!!!!
Hey Liz, you voicemail box is full. I’m sure it’s full with messages telling you to run for President. /s
Which party?
She collected 14 million to run for Congress and only spent about 500k on her campaign. She pulled a rope a dope. She’s going to use that 14 mil to hurt Trump. She may run but she’ll need much more. I think she starts a PAC and runs attack ad after attack ad to oppose Trump and the people he backs.
She lost badly in a primary in her own state. Would she really do that much better in primaries in blue states. What is she going to run on? Is being for, or against, for that matter, the impeachment of Trump an issue you can run for president on?
No.
I don’t think Liz Cheney is under the delusion she’d win the nomination, I think she wants to be on the televised debate stage in 2023 “exposing” him.
