Liz Cheney

On Tuesday, Wyoming Republicans determine the fate of Representative Liz Cheney, the putative leader of the anti-Trump forces in the Republican party.

What if he has cynically exploited their bigotry, ignorance or distrust? Principles have nothing to do with it. He argued back that there was no use having an agenda without a second term. The role Cheney has played raises a larger question about the meaning of representative democracy. But where is the center? Politics is about getting and keeping power.

“Nobody would piss off the entire state of Wyoming without another plan,” said Kasey Mateosky, a Republican running for a county commissioner spot.

"I'll be voting for Hageman because I think she stands more for Wyoming values than Liz Cheney," said a primary voter who spoke in Afton but declined to give his name. "I was sorry to hear Wyoming has abandoned truth, honesty and integrity in favor of the big lie, treason, insurrection and a proto-fascist dictator," he wrote back to the message sender. A super PAC by that name, formed by Trump allies, has been the primary outside spender in the race, pumping more than $1 million into boosting Hageman and hurting Cheney. Four of the 10 opted to retire, three have already lost primaries, and two survived primaries (in one of those two, Trump didn't endorse a challenger). Voters like Grisell were part of Cheney's Hail Mary strategy to beat Trump's forces in Wyoming, which he won in 2020 by 43 percentage points, his largest margin in the country. On television, Cheney's ads are focused on her fight with Trump — the apostasy that alienated her from most GOP voters here and across the country.

Despite being a staunch conservative and part of a political dynasty, Trump supporters are likely to deliver a final punishment to Wyoming congresswoman Liz ...

Really, a movement to maybe take back the party. Of the 20 people knocking on doors with his group, he said 18 are from out of state. Chuckling, she turned to look at the pile of fresh feces, saying: "That's what he thinks of Liz Cheney." Former Wyoming governor Mike Sullivan, a Democrat who served two terms in the late 1980s and early 1990s, agrees it is a troubling moment in American politics right now. "To see her do what she did, I don't think it's representing her state very well." Sullivan's time as governor also overlapped with Dick Cheney's time as a congressman. "She'll have no regrets for taking the position … she's on a pathway that I believe is right, and what is in the best interest of our country," he said of Liz Cheney's decision to criticize Trump. "For a lot of us, the erosion of what the Republican Party stood for, that originally attracted me to the party, has been clear over the past four years: Rejecting the rule of law, rejecting truth, rejecting the constitution, questioning the fundamental precepts of democracy," said Mayo. Ocheskey then walked over to stand next to Trump (the steer) in its holding pen. Initially a critic of Trump, Hageman didn't support his 2016 campaign to be the Republican presidential nominee, describing him as the "weakest candidate" and "somebody who is racist and xenophobic." "I'm extremely excited, like a kid waiting for Christmas," said Jennifer Ocheskey, describing Rep. Liz Cheney as "a traitor to the people of Wyoming." And in a quiet part of the facility, 13-year-old Jayden Ocheskey sits with her parents, waiting for her turn to showcase two of her family's steers.

Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. "Liz Cheney isn't fighting for re-election, she's fighting for the direction of the Republican Party," he said, noting that some observers have discussed whether Cheney should mount a presidential campaign in 2024. "I don't see at this point there is any reason to question those results." Already they threaten to launch potentially damaging investigations into his administration should they win.

On le doit aux pères fondateurs de la Constitution. Au contraire, elle multiplie ses attaques contre l'ancien président et met en garde les Américains. Élue en 2016 avec plus de 60 % des voix, Liz Cheney faisait partie des étoiles montantes dans le Parti républicain. En 2020, elle rafle près de 70 % des voix. Il n'y va pas de main morte avec l'ancien hôte de la Maison-Blanche. Dick Cheney traite Donald Trump de « lâche » et affirme « qu'un vrai homme » ne mentirait jamais à ses électeurs. Il qualifie sa fille de « battante » qui ne lâchera pas sa proie et vaincra tôt ou tard Donald Trump. Le président Trump a convoqué la foule et a allumé la mèche de l’attaque. Elle le tient responsable du coup d'État avorté. À 56 ans, elle incarne la résistance contre Donald Trump chez les républicains et va sans doute en payer le prix en perdant son siège de représentante du Wyoming au Congrès.

Bush Dick Cheney, qui jouait mardi sa réélection à la Chambre américaine des représentants. Dans cet Etat du Far West à la beauté rugueuse, où les cieux démesurés s’éventrent parfois, libérant des pluies diluviennes, l’heure du jugement est arrivée pour la représentante républicaine et fille de l’ancien vice-président de George W. Mais, dans le « Cowboy State », l’antitrumpiste passe pour une Washingtonienne distante, obsédée par sa propre étoile.

The immediate political future of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, one of former President Donald Trump's most powerful critics in the GOP, is at stake on Tuesday ...

Murkowski, Republican Kelly Tshibaka and Democrat Patricia Chesbro will advance to the November election, CNN projects, against a fourth candidate yet to be determined. When she was defeated in a 2010 Republican primary during the tea party wave, Murkowski launched a write-in campaign and defeated GOP nominee Joe Miller in the fall. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican who voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial, was also facing new competition this year fueled by her lack of fealty to the former President. Former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, whose ascent marked a precursor to the party's Trump era, returned to the ballot on Tuesday. The two survivors to date, in California and Washington, benefited from their states' nonpartisan primary system. "America will never be the same." His enduring popularity there, coupled with Cheney's role as vice chair of the January 6 committee, made the three-term congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney a top target of Trump allies. "Our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept, honorably, the outcome of elections. Overnight, the Cheney campaign filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission creating a leadership PAC to be called "The Great Task." "No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. The name of the PAC is a historic nod to Lincoln who spoke at Gettysburg of the "great task" facing the country. "This primary election is over," Cheney said in her speech.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) ran for re-election fulling realizing that winning isn't everything. That surely counts as a personal victory.

She was not one of the handful of Republicans who crossed the aisle to support the infrastructure bill; she was a no on that. Cheney has the calm detachment of a physician questioning a patient to confirm a diagnosis. She is admirable and maddening. She also has a way of delivering good news and making it sound like a prologue to the apocalypse. And then, when a hearing finishes, she gives generous hugs to the witnesses. 6 committee, one of only two Republicans on the panel, she has confronted Trump’s allies with facts and for that she has paid a tremendous political price, forced to wander in the political wilderness where she was befriended by Democrats aghast at right wing lies while also aghast at their sudden admiration for Cheney. She infuriated the new Republican Party, the one that has pledged its allegiance to former president Donald Trump, traffics in election lies and is laying waste to democratic traditions. She faced the cameras and the microphones. On recent bold face agenda items for the Biden administration, she has been a firm “nay.” To say that she’s been a splash of cold water would suggest that her votes have been out of character, a shock to the system. And so there she was on her fateful primary day dressed like an all-American Every Woman who was dutifully squeezing in a vote between grocery shopping and a video call with the office. She is exceptional and privileged. She was dressed in a manner that signifies regular folk, but of course, there’s nothing common about being part of a political dynasty.

Liz Cheney's top challenger was picked by Donald Trump, illustrating the competing sides of the party.

Conceding defeat, Ms Cheney signalled that this was the beginning of a new chapter of her political career. "We are no longer going to tolerate representatives who don't represent us." In the suburbs of the state capital of Cheyenne earlier, a group of Republicans were knocking on doors in a show of last-minute support for Ms Cheney - something they clearly accepted was an uphill battle. In her concession speech, Ms Cheney made clear she would not let up in her criticism of Mr Trump, who has been hinting he may run for the White House again in 2024. Elsewhere, Republican Sarah Palin - who is eyeing a political comeback - has advanced to November's election in Alaska in the race to represent the state in the House of Representatives. Ms Cheney was the last of the 10 to face the Trumpian assault.

Win or lose her seat in Congress, Cheney is vowing to remain an active presence in national politics as she contemplates a 2024 presidential bid.

With a little more than half of the vote counted, turnout ran about 50% higher than in the 2018 Republican primary for governor. The daughter of a former vice president, she hails from one of the most prominent political families in Wyoming. Cheney was forced to seek assistance from the state’s tiny Democratic minority in her bid to pull off a victory. And she is actively considering a 2024 White House bid – as a Republican or independent – having vowed to do everything in her power to fight Trump’s influence in her party. In all, seven Republican senators and 10 Republican House members backed Trump’s impeachment in the days after his supporters stormed the U.S. The former president called the results “a complete rebuke” of the Jan. And in Washington, she was the No. She raised at least $15 million for her election, a stunning figure for a Wyoming political contest. “Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. A party once dominated by national security-oriented, business-friendly conservatives like her father now belongs to Trump, animated by his populist appeal and, above all, his denial of defeat in the 2020 election. She’s the top Republican on the House panel investigating the Jan. Trump and his team celebrated Cheney’s loss, which may represent his biggest political victory in a primary season full of them.

Cheney is Trump's highest-profile Republican critic in Congress and a leading figure in the House investigation of his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Liz Cheney also became vice chair of the House select committee investigating the riot. Trump continues to spread election conspiracy theories and falsely assert the election was rigged. The daughter of a former vice president, Liz Cheney had been the No. The vote put a target on all their backs: Trump has worked to purge them and other Republicans he saw as "His clear and unwavering support from the very beginning propelled us to victory tonight," she said. 6, 2021, insurrection, when a violent mob of Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. The outcome of the primary for Wyoming's sole House seat was widely expected, as recent polls showed Cheney trailing her top rival, Harriet Hageman, by double-digit margins. But now, the real work begins," Cheney said. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic," she said. "Tonight, Harriet Hageman received the most votes in this primary. I called her to concede the race. But it would have required that I go along with President Trump's lie about the 2020 election.

Cheney was already looking ahead to a political future beyond Capitol Hill that could include a 2024 presidential run, potentially putting her on another collision course with Trump.

The gap would only widen in the months to come: In the Hageman campaign’s May survey, her lead was 26 points; in June, as the Jan. The Hageman and Trump forces also coordinated for the former president to publicly declare his support the same day she announced her bid — a show of force designed to nudge other candidates out of the race. Jim Banks, a staunch Trump ally who, during an October meeting with Hageman at the Capitol Hill Club, expressed anger at Cheney for criticizing him on the House floor earlier that day, according to a person familiar with the discussion. McCarthy ended up raising $250,000 for Hageman and headlined a March fundraiser for the candidate that was co-hosted by more than 100 House Republicans — an astonishing display of hostility toward Cheney, a fellow member. The head start offered the incumbent an opportunity to disqualify Hageman in the eyes of voters just as she was just getting off the ground. The Cheney campaign also said that physical threats against the congresswoman impeded her ability to hold public campaign events, forcing her to organize more private gatherings in the state instead. During the sit-down, Trump asked her about her past support for Cheney, a question her advisers had prepped her to answer beforehand. Bo Biteman, a prospective contender who had the backing of David McIntosh, a Trump ally and the president of the Club for Growth. As the summer went on, the idea of a Hageman candidacy began to take hold at Bedminster. Preparations for a Hageman bid accelerated: Trainer and another Trump adviser, 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien, soon met with Hageman at her Cheyenne law office to start mapping out a campaign. But Meadows was dialing up the pitch, making the case for Hageman to jump in and putting her on the phone with Ohio Rep. “While those men take pride in the fact that they supported an election denier who preys on the patriotism of ordinary Americans, Liz is going to be leading a broad coalition that defends freedom, upholds the Constitution, and fights back against efforts to destroy our republic.”

(She did manage to note that “Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all.”) More pointedly, she called out Trump for spreading lies that are likely to incite violence, and for revealing the names of the FBI agents who executed the warrant to search his offices in Florida. “Two years ago, I won this primary with 73 percent of the vote. Far from conceding, Lieberman said that “As I see it, in this campaign we just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead. But rarely do we see the kind of “concession” speech that Cheney delivered tonight. John McCain in 2008 made a point not just of congratulating Barack Obama but celebrating the victory.

The vice-chair of the House January 6 panel faced retribution from state voters for going against the former president.

Critics of the ex-president declared Cheney the moral victor. Trump wrote on his social media platform: “Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. “Our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept honorably the outcome of elections. She also warned that supporters of Trump’s “big lie” about voter fraud are currently running for state offices. I called her to concede the race. “It would have required that I enabled his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. And I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty. She was watched by family members including her parents Dick and Lynne. And tonight, Harriet Hageman has received the most votes in this primary. I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear, but it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election.

La principale opposante à l'ex-président chez les républicains a été largement battue dans cet Etat, conservateur et parmi le moins peuplé des Etats-Unis.

Devenue le visage de la résistance à Trump et à sa tentative de nier la victoire de Joe Biden, elle avait accepté la proposition de Nancy Pelosi, l’une des figures les plus haïes par les républicains, de prendre la vice-présidence de la commission d’enquête sur l’insurrection. Moins de deux heures après la clôture du scrutin, la sortante n’a pu que féliciter sa rivale, une avocate spécialisée dans les litiges contre les réglementations environnementales, proche jusque-là de la famille Cheney, mais reconvertie en fidèle de Trump pour le scrutin. Mais dans un Etat aussi conservateur, le moins peuplé du pays, où les démocrates sont quatre fois moins nombreux que les républicains, Harriet Hageman, la candidate soutenue par Donald Trump, n’a pas eu de peine à éliminer Liz Cheney, la fille de l’ancien vice-président Dick Cheney, élue depuis 2016 et réélue en 2020 avec 68 % des voix.

Cheney loses primary for midterm elections, promises to do 'whatever it takes' to stop Trump becoming president again.

Republicans are expected to easily retake the House and also have a good chance of winning control of the Senate. Murkowski is the sole pro-impeachment senator running for reelection this year. “Liz Cheney isn’t fighting for re-election, she’s fighting for the direction of the Republican Party,” he said, noting that some observers have discussed whether Cheney should mount a 2024 presidential campaign. Biden’s weak public approval numbers, weighed down by an unsteady economy, remain a concern for Democrats heading into the elections. It’s funny how small the election feels — the Wyoming election — because she feels bigger than it now.” Liz Cheney, who has emerged as former President Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican critic, has lost her party’s nomination for the United States Congress to a Trump-backed candidate, in the latest sign of her party’s break with traditional conservatism.

And on Wednesday morning, she told NBC's "Today" show that she is "thinking about" running for president and will make a decision in "the coming months." Cheney was by far the most prominent of the 10 House Republicans to vote in January 2021 for Trump's impeachment. And I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty," she said. Weeks after that speech, Cheney was elusive when asked about the possibility of running for president in 2024. This is a fight for all of us, together." Several people said they felt Cheney devoted far more time on national issues -- to the detriment of her focusing on energy and natural resource priorities of critical importance to the state. "It took a lot of courage to stand against the Republican Party and Donald Trump." Wyoming Republicans' reservations about Cheney were first evident in 2016, when she won her House seat after winning just 39% of the vote in the GOP primary against a fractured field. But she was right on the policies," he said. Cheney attempted to assemble a coalition of Democrats, independents and moderate and anti-Trump Republicans -- many of them ideological opponents of the neoconservative congresswoman before the last 19 months -- to save her seat. But the conservative faction has seized control of the state Republican Party and many of its local organizations. Cheney's ouster caps a summer in which Trump has purged the GOP of many of his critics, while elevating candidates -- including Hageman -- who have parroted his lies about widespread election fraud.

She reaffirmed Wednesday morning that she's considering a presidential run. But whether she can find a lane without helping her nemesis remains unclear.

Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) earlier this year — saw her fierce resistance to the former president as counterproductive, according to the recent book “This Will Not Pass.” According to three people close to the group’s discussions, Cheney’s name is in the mix in terms of candidates it would consider putting part of its $50 million cache towards, with some suggesting her as a potential running-mate for a nominee like Sen. But a House primary vote for Cheney is as far as he’s willing to go given the rest of her conservative positions, particularly on abortion. Throughout the summer, she kept her focus on the Jan.

The bipartisan group No Labels, which is closely aligned with the House’s Problem Solvers Caucus, is looking to get involved in the 2024 presidential race with significant funds that it’s already raised to help centrist candidates. Vogelheim predicted Cheney would stick to the GOP presidential primary if she runs in 2024, recalling her “emphatic” vow that she wouldn’t be changing parties. She quickly announced Wednesday morning in a POLITICO exclusive that she’ll be forming a new group “to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,” as her spokespeson put it. Cheney allies say she won’t get involved in the presidential race if she deems that it would help Trump rather than hurt him. “I think Liz is running the race she wants to run.” Abraham Lincoln, the “great and original champion of our party” as she put it, “ultimately prevailed.

Bien malin qui saurait prédire ce que feront les membres du parti et les électeurs si Donald Trump est écarté, mais le cas échéant, je parierais que Liz Cheney sera sur les rangs pour la présidentielle 2024. Il y a peu, Liz Cheney brillait au sein de la relève du Parti républicain. Intelligente et très bonne communicatrice, elle dépasse d’une tête les autres membres de la commission.

Cheney didn't specify how, or where, she intends to continue her struggle against former President Donald Trump, after Harriet Hageman, the candidate Trump ...

Cheney’s GOP supporters are even more divided over a possible general-election strategy; some sympathizers believe she would hurt Trump most by running as an independent third-party presidential candidate in the general election, and others worry that such a bid would help Trump by splitting voters resistant to him. What she indicated yesterday is that when she talks about a long battle, she is looking not only past the Wyoming House GOP primary but even past the struggle for the next GOP presidential nomination. The best-case scenario for the Trump critics if Cheney runs is that her battering-ram attacks weaken him to the point that someone else can capture the nomination. To save the party, in other words, Cheney might first have to be willing to destroy it.
