Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY)

Cheney Won’t Rule Out Presidential Run

Former Wyoming Republican congresswoman and vice chairwoman of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Liz Cheney, did not rule out a 2024 presidential bid, in an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday. 

If Donald J. Trump is elected to a second term, “all of the things he attempted to do, but was stopped by doing by the responsible people around him at the Department of Justice and the White House counsel’s office, he will do. There will be guardrails. And everyone has been warned,” Cheney told SoTU’s Jake Tapper. 

Asked whether Cheney would vote for President Biden over Trump, Cheney demurred, but said she would spend “the next year between now and the election to elect serious, sane people” of both parties. “We don’t want a situation where the election is thrown into the House of Representatives.”
