Liz Cheney

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) ran for re-election fulling realizing that winning isn't everything. That surely counts as a personal victory.

She was not one of the handful of Republicans who crossed the aisle to support the infrastructure bill; she was a no on that. Cheney has the calm detachment of a physician questioning a patient to confirm a diagnosis. She is admirable and maddening. She also has a way of delivering good news and making it sound like a prologue to the apocalypse. And then, when a hearing finishes, she gives generous hugs to the witnesses. 6 committee, one of only two Republicans on the panel, she has confronted Trump’s allies with facts and for that she has paid a tremendous political price, forced to wander in the political wilderness where she was befriended by Democrats aghast at right wing lies while also aghast at their sudden admiration for Cheney. She infuriated the new Republican Party, the one that has pledged its allegiance to former president Donald Trump, traffics in election lies and is laying waste to democratic traditions. She faced the cameras and the microphones. On recent bold face agenda items for the Biden administration, she has been a firm “nay.” To say that she’s been a splash of cold water would suggest that her votes have been out of character, a shock to the system. And so there she was on her fateful primary day dressed like an all-American Every Woman who was dutifully squeezing in a vote between grocery shopping and a video call with the office. She is exceptional and privileged. She was dressed in a manner that signifies regular folk, but of course, there’s nothing common about being part of a political dynasty.

Cheney is Trump's highest-profile Republican critic in Congress and a leading figure in the House investigation of his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Liz Cheney also became vice chair of the House select committee investigating the riot. Trump continues to spread election conspiracy theories and falsely assert the election was rigged. The daughter of a former vice president, Liz Cheney had been the No. The vote put a target on all their backs: Trump has worked to purge them and other Republicans he saw as "His clear and unwavering support from the very beginning propelled us to victory tonight," she said. 6, 2021, insurrection, when a violent mob of Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. The outcome of the primary for Wyoming's sole House seat was widely expected, as recent polls showed Cheney trailing her top rival, Harriet Hageman, by double-digit margins. But now, the real work begins," Cheney said. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic," she said. "Tonight, Harriet Hageman received the most votes in this primary. I called her to concede the race. But it would have required that I go along with President Trump's lie about the 2020 election.

Last July, Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman drove seven hours from her home in Cheyenne to Jackson to meet with a major donor who wanted her to wage a ...

The gap would only widen in the months to come: In the Hageman campaign’s May survey, her lead was 26 points; in June, as the Jan. The Hageman and Trump forces also coordinated for the former president to publicly declare his support the same day she announced her bid — a show of force designed to nudge other candidates out of the race. Jim Banks, a staunch Trump ally who, during an October meeting with Hageman at the Capitol Hill Club, expressed anger at Cheney for criticizing him on the House floor earlier that day, according to a person familiar with the discussion. McCarthy ended up raising $250,000 for Hageman and headlined a March fundraiser for the candidate that was co-hosted by more than 100 House Republicans — an astonishing display of hostility toward Cheney, a fellow member. The head start offered the incumbent an opportunity to disqualify Hageman in the eyes of voters just as she was just getting off the ground. The Cheney campaign also said that physical threats against the congresswoman impeded her ability to hold public campaign events, forcing her to organize more private gatherings in the state instead. During the sit-down, Trump asked her about her past support for Cheney, a question her advisers had prepped her to answer beforehand. Bo Biteman, a prospective contender who had the backing of David McIntosh, a Trump ally and the president of the Club for Growth. As the summer went on, the idea of a Hageman candidacy began to take hold at Bedminster. Preparations for a Hageman bid accelerated: Trainer and another Trump adviser, 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien, soon met with Hageman at her Cheyenne law office to start mapping out a campaign. But Meadows was dialing up the pitch, making the case for Hageman to jump in and putting her on the phone with Ohio Rep. “While those men take pride in the fact that they supported an election denier who preys on the patriotism of ordinary Americans, Liz is going to be leading a broad coalition that defends freedom, upholds the Constitution, and fights back against efforts to destroy our republic.”

(She did manage to note that “Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all.”) More pointedly, she called out Trump for spreading lies that are likely to incite violence, and for revealing the names of the FBI agents who executed the warrant to search his offices in Florida. “Two years ago, I won this primary with 73 percent of the vote. Far from conceding, Lieberman said that “As I see it, in this campaign we just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead.

The vice-chair of the House January 6 panel faced retribution from state voters for going against the former president.

Critics of the ex-president declared Cheney the moral victor. Trump wrote on his social media platform: “Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. “Our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept honorably the outcome of elections. She also warned that supporters of Trump’s “big lie” about voter fraud are currently running for state offices. I called her to concede the race. “It would have required that I enabled his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. And I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty. She was watched by family members including her parents Dick and Lynne. And tonight, Harriet Hageman has received the most votes in this primary. I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear, but it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election.

She won her 2020 primary with 73 percent of the vote, she was already the No. 3 ranking House GOP leader and she was well on her way to becoming the first ...

She surrendered that leadership post in the spring of 2021, when it became clear that she could not continue to embarrass Trump’s sycophant allies, particularly House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and not face blowback. Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump a week after the Capitol riot, four decided to retire rather than face likely defeat in primaries. And so I’m going to continue to work and ensure that we’re doing that in a way that is nonpartisan.” Wolfensberger’s closest approximation to the way Cheney sacrificed her congressional career for higher principle was John Anderson in 1980. She would nod to local issues, but she focused on Trump. Valadao (R-Calif.) and Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), and both tried hard to avoid talking about Trump in their campaigns. Cheney used her defiant concession speech Tuesday night, after losing badly in the GOP primary to Trump’s handpicked candidate, to promise a sustained campaign against the ex-president and his allies. Whoever wins will be forgotten quickly by history, remembered only as someone who mouthed the right pro-Trump platitudes to appease a House GOP that forbids divergence from the ex-president. Instead, after some early positive advertisements that discussed those matters, Cheney focused her final weeks almost singularly on prosecuting the case against Trump and those local Republicans who tout his fallacies about the 2020 election. “We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. “It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. Cheney did little to tamp that down in Tuesday night’s speech.

In a defiant and unapologetic speech, Cheney noted that even Abraham Lincoln lost elections to the House and Senate “before he won the most important ...

Cheney said no citizen is a “bystander,” and addressed the individual responsibility of Americans to seek the truth and protect the future of the country. They are angry, and they are determined,” Cheney said. “Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all. Cheney was punished swiftly, both in Wyoming and by her colleagues in Congress, who booted her from GOP leadership. His wrath intensified with her high-profile role on the House select committee investigating the former president and his inner circle. Trump had identified Cheney as a top takedown target after she became the highest-ranking Republican to vote to impeach him after Jan. Grant refused to retreat and led the Union Army to victory in the Civil War. “And if we listen closely, they are speaking to us down the generations. And she contrasted her quick concession to Trump’s prolonged refusal to acknowledge his own electoral loss, a refusal that led to the violence of Jan. A red vintage Chevrolet 3100 was positioned to the side of the stage. Cheney made no apologies for the decisions that led to her election loss. It would’ve required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our Democratic system, and attack the foundations of our republic,” Cheney said.

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Hageman after Liz Cheney broke with fellow Republicans to impeach Trump and criticize his handling of the Jan.

Her lonely stance against Donald Trump was seen as treachery by today's cult-like Republicans.

And on Wednesday morning, she told NBC's "Today" show that she is "thinking about" running for president and will make a decision in "the coming months." Cheney was by far the most prominent of the 10 House Republicans to vote in January 2021 for Trump's impeachment. And I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty," she said. Weeks after that speech, Cheney was elusive when asked about the possibility of running for president in 2024. This is a fight for all of us, together." Several people said they felt Cheney devoted far more time on national issues -- to the detriment of her focusing on energy and natural resource priorities of critical importance to the state. "It took a lot of courage to stand against the Republican Party and Donald Trump." Wyoming Republicans' reservations about Cheney were first evident in 2016, when she won her House seat after winning just 39% of the vote in the GOP primary against a fractured field. But she was right on the policies," he said. Cheney attempted to assemble a coalition of Democrats, independents and moderate and anti-Trump Republicans -- many of them ideological opponents of the neoconservative congresswoman before the last 19 months -- to save her seat. But the conservative faction has seized control of the state Republican Party and many of its local organizations. Cheney's ouster caps a summer in which Trump has purged the GOP of many of his critics, while elevating candidates -- including Hageman -- who have parroted his lies about widespread election fraud.

JACKSON, Wyo. — Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming was resoundingly defeated by Harriet Hageman in her Republican primary on Tuesday, handing Donald J.

Ms. She and Ms. In the closing weeks of the primary, Ms. Just as notable, Ms. It was far from enough to change the outcome of the race, but such crossover voters were easy to find in upscale Teton County, home to Ms. primary in the final months of the race. The women debated just once, in June, and Ms. primary, a prospect Ms. The repudiation of Ms. Twice invoking the Civil War, Ms. Trump’s endorsement, trounced Ms. “Harriet Hageman has received the most votes in this primary — she won,” Ms.

She reaffirmed Wednesday morning that she's considering a presidential run. But whether she can find a lane without helping her nemesis remains unclear.

Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) earlier this year — saw her fierce resistance to the former president as counterproductive, according to the recent book “This Will Not Pass.” According to three people close to the group’s discussions, Cheney’s name is in the mix in terms of candidates it would consider putting part of its $50 million cache towards, with some suggesting her as a potential running-mate for a nominee like Sen. But a House primary vote for Cheney is as far as he’s willing to go given the rest of her conservative positions, particularly on abortion. Throughout the summer, she kept her focus on the Jan. Voting Tuesday morning in the bluest part of the state, Horn called her decision to go against Trump “courageous.” [called it a “referendum” ](https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/08-16-2022/mccarthys-confidence/)on her work alongside Democrats investigating Trump on the Jan. The bipartisan group No Labels, which is closely aligned with the House’s Problem Solvers Caucus, is looking to get involved in the 2024 presidential race with significant funds that it’s already raised to help centrist candidates. Vogelheim predicted Cheney would stick to the GOP presidential primary if she runs in 2024, recalling her “emphatic” vow that she wouldn’t be changing parties. She quickly announced Wednesday morning in a POLITICO exclusive that she’ll be forming a new group “to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,” as her spokespeson put it. Cheney allies say she won’t get involved in the presidential race if she deems that it would help Trump rather than hurt him. “I think Liz is running the race she wants to run.” Abraham Lincoln, the “great and original champion of our party” as she put it, “ultimately prevailed.

The idea that Cheney would have virtually any shot at winning a national Republican primary after such a loss in her home state is, on its face, laughable. And ...

So it’s easy — and very likely correct — to dismiss out of hand the possibility that Cheney might win. The drawback, of course, is that it could signal a death blow for Cheney’s political career, if it still has any life in it. Put simply, there’s arguably nobody more studied in making the case against Trump than Cheney, and she might decide that’s her role to play in 2024 — to air all of this very publicly on the biggest political stage possible. [she went in the opposite direction](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/17/liz-cheney-anti-trump-movement/?isMobile=1&itid=lk_inline_manual_30). That poll shows her huddled in the low single digits with a number of also-rans — including former governors Nikki Haley and Chris Christie — but it also put her in fourth place by virtue of how concentrated the field is. It’s unlikely it would ever truly make her a contender, but sometimes candidates run to try to shape the race in other ways. There’s also the matter of what Cheney knows about what could lie ahead. And judging from recent years, being in the low single digits could be good enough to put Cheney on the debate stage. And a 2024 bid presents an opportunity, at the very least, to do that. Even in the best of circumstances for Cheney — a timeline in which she is smartly playing the long game and banking on Trump’s ultimate downfall — the 2024 campaign is very near. As Cheney noted, the first campaigns are likely to be launched within a few months. And Cheney is shrewd enough to know that.

The immediate political future of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, one of former President Donald Trump's most powerful critics in the GOP, is at stake on Tuesday ...

Murkowski, Republican Kelly Tshibaka and Democrat Patricia Chesbro will advance to the November election, CNN projects, against a fourth candidate yet to be determined. When she was defeated in a 2010 Republican primary during the tea party wave, Murkowski launched a write-in campaign and defeated GOP nominee Joe Miller in the fall. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican who voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial, was also facing new competition this year fueled by her lack of fealty to the former President. Former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, whose ascent marked a precursor to the party's Trump era, returned to the ballot on Tuesday. The two survivors to date, in California and Washington, benefited from their states' nonpartisan primary system. "America will never be the same." His enduring popularity there, coupled with Cheney's role as vice chair of the January 6 committee, made the three-term congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney a top target of Trump allies. "Our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept, honorably, the outcome of elections. Overnight, the Cheney campaign filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission creating a leadership PAC to be called "The Great Task." "No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. The name of the PAC is a historic nod to Lincoln who spoke at Gettysburg of the "great task" facing the country. "This primary election is over," Cheney said in her speech.

She also denounced the former president for allegedly releasing the names of FBI agents involved in a search of his Mar-a-Lago resort "when he knows that our law enforcement is the target of violence." "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. Asked if she plans to run for president, she first deflected and argued that the GOP needs to be taken in a different direction. "I believe that Donald Trump continues to pose a very grave threat and risk to our republic. At the end of July, she had more than $7 million cash on hand, according to FEC filings. Overnight, Cheney formed a new leadership political action committee called "The Great Task," an aide confirmed to NBC.

Liz Cheney's top challenger was picked by Donald Trump, illustrating the competing sides of the party.

Conceding defeat, Ms Cheney signalled that this was the beginning of a new chapter of her political career. "We are no longer going to tolerate representatives who don't represent us." In the suburbs of the state capital of Cheyenne earlier, a group of Republicans were knocking on doors in a show of last-minute support for Ms Cheney - something they clearly accepted was an uphill battle. In her concession speech, Ms Cheney made clear she would not let up in her criticism of Mr Trump, who has been hinting he may run for the White House again in 2024. Elsewhere, Republican Sarah Palin - who is eyeing a political comeback - has advanced to November's election in Alaska in the race to represent the state in the House of Representatives. Ms Cheney was the last of the 10 to face the Trumpian assault.

"Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion." embraced Donald Trump [and] embraced his cult of personality." Speaking to Today, Ms Cheney said it was "dangerous" to elect officials who questioned the result of that election and described it as a "red line" that she would continue to resist. Ms Hageman - who ran to be Wyoming governor in 2018 - was handpicked by the former president and has said she believes the election Mr Trump ultimately lost to President Joe Biden was "rigged". A leading Republican critic of Donald Trump says the party has "embraced his cult of personality" after she was ousted in a primary election.

Trump Republican adversary makes clear that while Trump won the primary battle, the war for the soul of the party rages on.

[Carol Adelman](https://www.hudson.org/experts/2-carol-adelman), 76, who hired a 22-year-old Cheney for the US Agency for International Development, said that “of course” she would like see Cheney run for the White House in 2024. It has proved a winning formula in primaries that reward the loudest voices but could yet backfire on the party in the midterm elections, where centrist voters are put off by extremism. But Adam Kinzinger, Cheney’s Republican colleague on the January 6 committee, is confident that she will not yield. She is one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him: eight have lost their primary or retired, while only two stand a chance of surviving to the next Congress. For now, Trump will feel that Tuesday demonstrated that revenge is a dish best served Maga. But if the field is crowded and divided, for example between Trump, the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, and former vice-president Mike Pence, she could make a symbolic impact in the “moderate” lane. The journeys of these two fiftysomething women neatly sum up where the Republican party is at. If Trump’s not seeking the nomination, he’ll still get to select the nominee. Democrats would be anxious to avoid a repeat of 2000 Heath Mayo, 32, a lawyer, said: “On the question about the future of the party, there are few people making an argument counter to the prevailing Trumpism argument. Keep making the argument.” She invoked Abraham Lincoln, who lost congressional elections before ascending to the presidency and preserving the union.

Cheney's Wyoming loss was predictable. Her bigger fight, against Trumpism, is now fully underway.

Mike Sullivan, a Democrat, recalled him as “sort of a weak link” and didn’t think there was “any comparison” to Cheney, for whom he changed his party registration to vote on Tuesday. She was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president, and became a total apostate when she became the vice chair of Cheney had also raised the ire of local Republicans in 2013 when she launched an abortive primary campaign against incumbent Sen. Cheney will have five more months to pursue her work on the January 6 committee without a campaign hanging over her head. Wyoming has seen a long-running internal conflict between a more traditional GOP establishment and a more ardently conservative new guard within the party. Whether via a super PAC or a kamikaze presidential campaign or something else, Cheney has more options than the typical anti-Trump Republican who leaves Congress for a cable news gig. While Harrison did have a notable political genealogy (his grandfather and great-great-grandfather both served as president), he had little else in common with Liz Cheney. But it captured national attention as a referendum on Trump’s standing and pull within the GOP. Cheney repeatedly referenced the Civil War and drew comparisons to the current political climate in the United States. Instead, Cheney had sought to characterize her race as part of an existential struggle for American democracy that pitted her against Trump. That was a path I could not and would not take.” It would’ve required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic.

Plus a mortgage strike in China and resistance fighters in Ukraine.
