A few days after losing the Republican primary race, Liz Cheney said that she is considering running for president in the 2024 US election.
Liz is the daughter of former US Vice President Dick Cheney, who lost to Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman in Wyoming by nearly 40 points.
“No American should support those who refuse to vote, because if they refuse to follow the rule of law, our future will be uncertain,” Cheney warned in her speech.
Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly denied losing the 2020 US election to Joe Biden. As a result, rioters attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cheney later voted to impeach Trump on charges of inciting the Capitol riots.
Cheney, 56, remained defiant after her defeat stating that she will be making her decision to run for president in the “coming months”.
“I’ve been saying since January 6th that I’m going to work to make sure that Donald Trump is nowhere near the Oval Office — and that’s my intention,” US Congressman Cheney said, targeting Trump after his loss in Wyoming.
Even as Cheney tried to fight Trump’s hold on the Republican Party, she trailed Hageman in pre-poll surveys. Trump supporters in Wyoming’s Republican Party voted against Cheney after former President Trump accused him of being “disloyal.”
