Bobbie and Bill Kilberg were expecting a few dozen people for their fundraiser Monday for GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, an intimate cocktail party they were planning at their home in McLean, Virginia.
But in the weeks since the Republican National Committee voted to censure Cheney for her involvement in the ongoing House select committee investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the couple was flooded with requests to come and meet the congresswoman and the event's special guest, Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney.
So many people RSVP'd yes that Monday's event was moved to another, larger venue. The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.
The donor interest isn't all for Cheney's reelection bid for her House seat in Wyoming. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.
"We are moving beyond Donald Trump," Bobbie Kilberg told CNN. "Enough, already. Enough's enough."
Kilberg and other allies insist Cheney remains focused on her reelection to the House this year, which includes a daunting primary challenge from her onetime adviser Harriet Hageman. Trump has endorsed Hageman, who has all but cleared the field of Republican challengers, and defeating Cheney remains one of the former President's top priorities in the midterm cycle.
But several Republicans have said it's not out of the question she could seek the GOP nomination for president if Trump runs again.
"Would it surprise me? Not even in the slightest," said Landon Brown, a state representative in Wyoming and one of the few elected Republicans there publicly backing Cheney in the primary.

Republican is not a title or a name tag .... it is the soul of America .... and to the Republic for which it stands.
President Trump cleaned up the VA, NEVER HAD A WAR, made nice with every world leader and brought respect to the office of the Presidency and our nation.
The commiecrats are going full tilt boogie just like nazi pelosi did in 2019, inventing covid and initiating mail in ballots.
“Fortunately most everyone in Wyoming hates Liz.”
I hope you are correct. She has been a big disappointment.
VOTE HER OUT.
SHE’s A DEMOCRAT IN WOLF’s CLOTHING.
TRAITOR.
I doubt that very seriously, but you may be right
These republicans have allowed this regime to take hold now
