Former Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo) has made it clear that she will not take any steps that could help former President Donald Trump in his quest to return to the White House. In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt at the Aspen Ideas Festival on Tuesday, Cheney said she has no intention of helping Trump and that he should face consequences for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
When asked if she would pursue a presidential bid as a third-party candidate, Cheney replied: ”I’m not going to do anything that helps Donald Trump.” Cheney added that she will be making a decision on her future plans “later on this year,” but said ultimately her biggest concern is blocking Trump.
Cheney served in Congress for six years before she lost in the GOP primary last year to a Trump-backed candidate. She was also asked whether she would run as a Republican or a third-party candidate if she were to launch a White House bid, but she has not yet revealed her plans.
Cheney’s comments come as speculation continues to swirl about Trump’s potential 2024 presidential bid. Trump has not yet announced his plans, but he has hinted that he may run again and has continued to make false claims about the 2020 election. Cheney’s remarks make it clear that she will not be helping Trump in any way, and her decision on her own future plans will be closely watched.
