Even after a blowout loss in her home state Republican primary Tuesday, Liz Cheney vowed to fight Donald Trump and his influence within the GOP – to the point of a long-shot presidential bid in 2024, if necessary.
And while she is setting herself against some candidates, Cheney has also signaled that she plans to go out of her way to help another set of hopefuls: promoting women in politics, presumably conservative women.Cheney praised Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide who gave the Jan. 6 committee damaging testimony about Trump. Cheney called Hutchinson an inspiration to little girls across the country.
A successful presidential candidacy in 2024?"Not in a million years," said Sue Kolbas, 59, a businesswoman who voted for Hageman at the Teton County parks and recreation building."She's not qualified.". That would potentially undermine her goal of keeping the former president from getting back into the Oval Office, said Casey Burgat, director of the legislative affairs program at George Washington University.
Above all, Burgat urged caution: “There’s a lot of time between now and 2024, and most forecasts assume Trump runs and say nothing about the criminal investigations. He hasn’t even announced yet.”The long road That includes her prominent role on the special committee investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump's role in allegedly inciting the assault of the U.S. Capitol.
As the sun set below the Tetons, Cheney told backers she is"a conservative Republican" who believes"deeply in the principles and the ideals" that are now under assault by Trump and others.
