Liz Cheney ponders 2024 bid after losing Wyoming GOP primary

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.

Yep, we'll have a couple of days worth of stories about poor brave Liz, about new beginnings, about a 2024 Presidential run. And then it will occur to everyone, 2024 is a long way away, Liz isn't relevant anymore, and the stories will fade. As this kid knows, Liz is a loser.

I just lost my primary by 40 points! Maybe I should run for president instead.

Lib Cheney is not interested in winning. She’s only interested in reeling off enough votes as a 3rd party candidate to deny Trump election.

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.

only one problem, you need to poll higher than a few percent.

To get into the GOP primary debates? I don’t think so. Plenty of 1%ers were up on the debate stage in 2015.

In 2016 they held two debates with the losers like Cheney on the little kids stage with Fiorina, Gilmore, Jindal, Pataki, Santorum et al.

This is what happens when you surround yourself with yes men and yes women from New York and California, and DC and ignore real people in your home state.

sorry, Liz, but believe it or not, our White House is not intended to be the nation’s insane asylum

Will she chair another kangaroo court to impeach Trump before she runs for POTUS in 2024?
