Republican Rep. Liz Cheney has lost the Wyoming primary, but the outspoken critic of former President President Donald Trump said that she intends to work within a bipartisan coalition to stop his future political efforts.
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney may have lost the Wyoming primary — but she’s not done with politics just yet.
“I am absolutely going to continue this battle,” she said. “It’s the most important thing I’ve ever been involved in, and I think it’s certainly the most important thing, challenge, that our nation has faced in recent history, and maybe since the Civil War. And it’s one that we must win.” Cheney was also asked if she would consider a White House run in 2024 — a question which she deflected at first.
Cheney, a third-term Republican congresswoman, was behind in nearly every poll leading up to her primary against Hageman. In the weeks before the vote, Cheney even called on her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, to help sway Republican voters with a viral political ad that called Trump a “coward” and a “threat” to American democracy. She still ended up losing by a roughly 30-percentage-point margin, however.
