Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said Thursday that she may run for president of the United States in 2024 in what would be a humiliation and a final repudiation of the Cheney name by American voters
The Cheney family has a lot of explaining to do about its past behavior and Liz should be nowhere near any position of power again.
Speaking at the 2023 Mackinac Policy Conference in Detroit, Michigan, Cheney was asked if she would consider entering the race.
Cheney said: “Look, I think that we have to have good people, and I don’t know yet what that is going to look like.
“But, I’m not going to rule it out.
“I am really focused on making sure that Donald Trump isn’t anywhere close to the Oval Office again.
“And, I’m going to continue to make sure to do everything I can both to ensure that, also to make sure that other election deniers are not elected.
“And, I think that is just so hugely important.
“You know, when we put people in positions of authority who deny the sanctity of our elections, we really do put the Republic at risk.”
According to Fox News:
Earlier in the conversation, Cheney had said she was not supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis officially announced his candidacy late last month during a Twitter event with billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
She stressed that the tectonic plates of U.S. politics are shifting, and that Americans need people who are serious and sane in office.
She encouraged people to take up the mantle, highlighting the need to unseat and block election deniers up and down the ballot.
