Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said over the weekend that she was not ruling out a presidential bid for 2024.
Cheney also vowed to help elect leaders who will fight against those who question election results.
“I will tell you what I’m definitely going to do — I’m going to spend the next year, between now and the election, certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect sane people to Congress,” Cheney said.
When further pressed if she is not ruling out a presidential bid, Cheney said, “No, I’m not.”
Cheney was vocal about her dislike of former President Donald Trump, calling him a “threat” to the country.
“I think Donald Trump is the single most dangerous threat we face. I would imagine that there will be a number of other candidates in the race that I think,” the former Representative continued.
“We don’t want a situation where the election is thrown into the House of Representatives and Donald Trump has any possibility at all of prevailing under those circumstances,” Cheney said. “So, we have got to elect people who believe in the Constitution and who take their responsibility seriously to Congress.”
From The Hill:
Cheney, who served as vice chairwoman of the House select committee on Jan. 6, did not hold back in her condemnation of Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Blaming the former president for provoking the violence that day, the three-term conservative became one of the most outspoken GOP critics of the former president.
