It sure sounds like Liz Cheney is plotting to blow things up for Republicans in 2024
Donald Trump, sat down with NBC News’ Lester Holt at the Aspen Ideas Festival to talk about the future of her party, Donald Trump, and her plans for 2024.Though she wouldn’t say exactly what she has in the works, Cheney made it clear–very clear–that she has absolutely no intention of doing anything that might make it easier for Trump to get re-elected to another term as president.“I’m not going to do anything that helps Donald Trump,” the political nepo baby said. “I’ll make a decision about sort of what I do and what comes next later on this year.”Bye, bye, Kari.
When asked by Holt about a potential bid for the presidency, and whether she’d run as a Republican or a third-party candidate, Cheney artfully sidestepped the question.“The way that I’m thinking about where we are and what has to be done is much less about, you know, what should I do in terms of am I going to be a candidate or not … and much more about stopping Donald Trump, whatever that takes,” she replied.
Third-party candidates generally don’t perform well in presidential elections, but they can sometimes tip the races in battleground states.
After becoming Public Enemy #1 among Republicans following her vote to impeach Trump over the January 6 Capitol insurrection, Cheney has seen her poll numbers unexpectedly rise in recent months.A series of surveys conducted by the Trafalgar Group in March and April saw her approval ratings tick up from 5.3% to 10.3%.
