While many in the Democratic Party admire her service — the idea of “country over party” has been central to Biden’s own political life and what inspired much of his successful presidential bid — there’s no clear consensus on how a Cheney candidacy could shake out.
Some Democrats see the conservative congresswoman splitting the Republican vote, effectively breaking up the coalition around Trump and weakening him. In that scenario, these voices hope Cheney would hypothetically make Biden a stronger general election candidate, and her presence in the race would help make Trump a one-term president.
Others, however, like Boyle, have questions. They think she may chip off votes from Biden, who enjoyed a portion of support in 2020 from voters who disliked Trump and voted Democrat by default.
With another GOP or independent option, that choice may be complicated.
“If she actually wants to run and try to win — either a Republican primary or in the general as an independent — the people telling her to do this are delusional and/or handcuffed to a green room installed on an Acela train,” said Eddie Vale, a Democratic strategist. “The inevitable end result is her pulling anti-Trump votes from Biden.”

Lez needs to run on the libtard ticket where she belongs
Nothing is going to happen...nothing.
Hope Lizard runs as a third party candidate and siphons off votes from the democRAT.
They better think about Tulsi. She’s positioning herself to be the “moderate” nominee for the dims.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
She has no natural base of support. Who would vote for her? The Left still hates her guts because she’s still a Cheney. They only liked her because she went after Trump.
There’s going to be another McMuffin candidate. It might as well be this broad.
It doesn’t matter. The way the delegate selection system is setup, a Tulsi Gabbard cannot get the nomination.
Tulsi is dangerous. She’s very intelligent and has a good background story. I think she’s a snake in the grass and just as radical as Obama.
Cheney would run as a democrat right?
To run against Ziao, doesn’t she need to win the Republican nomination first? But she got her ass handed to her in Wyoming last week by republican voters, didn’t she? So how exactly does she take her “bitter woman” show nationwide and win against anyone?
John B. Anderson…
Utterly goofy. I cannot imagine any serious human thinking this. Her only path would be running as a Republican in the primary, and the party is completely Trump’s now. She’d pull low single-digit vote numbers.
The Hill grapples with it. How cute.
I hope she runs. Another “chew toy” for Trump to F*ck with.
Good Times.
Agree. Can’t believe Tucker let her host his show last week.
They might as well grapple with it in the same sense Jeffrey Toobin grappled with himself.
She might not even make it into, let alone out of, the first primary
Yep. I don’t trust her at all.
You are 100% correct. This Traitor/Turncoat, Liz Cheney is following in the “fifteen minutes of fame” foot steps of Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc.!!! This nutcase woman is Toast....Nope Burnt Toast!!!
End of story...Case closed....Adios, Failure, Liz Cheney!!!
