Defeated Republican Congresswomen Liz Cheney Vows To Run In 2024 To Stop Trump

 

Daily Mail: Liz Cheney's sour grapes: Wyoming Republican blasts Trump for landslide 37-point primary loss and says she IS 'thinking about' running for President: Accuses Donald of LYING about Mar-a-Lago raid and 'preying on people's patriotism' 

* Liz Cheney said the morning after her defeat in Wyoming that she is 'thinking about' running for president 

* 'I'm not going to make any announcements here this morning,' Cheney told NBC's Today program of a 2024 run for office. 'But it is something I'm thinking about' 

* Rep. Cheney lost her Republican primary to Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman Tuesday in Wyoming 

* During a concession speech in Jackson, Cheney made comparisons to President Abraham Lincoln, who lost a string of races before winning the White House 

* 'Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all,' Cheney noted 

* She also talked about how she won her last primary by 73 points, but wouldn't repeat former President Donald Trump's election lies to do it again * 'That is a path I could not and would not take,' Cheney said 

* Hageman characterized her win as an effort to 'dislodge entrenched politicians' from Washington, D.C.'s 'uni-party,' and said it put 'elites on notice' 

Liz Cheney attacked Donald Trump and her Republican colleagues and said she is considering running for president in 2024 in her first interview on Wednesday morning - just hours after losing her primary by 37 points. 

The defeated GOP Representative said the U.S. is facing its biggest challenge since the Civil War and said she will do 'whatever it takes' to keep the former president out of the White House in her appearance with Savannah Guthrie on NBC's Today show. 

The three-term congresswoman for Wyoming's at-large district placed the blame for her 37.4-point loss Tuesday night solely on former President Donald Trump, who backed lawyer Harriet Hageman.
