Liz Cheney’s Concession Speech: I’ll Do ‘Whatever It Takes’ To Stop Trump

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING JACKSON, Wyo. — At a Wyoming cattle ranch surrounded by hay bales, a vintage cherry red Chevy and American flags, Rep. Liz Cheney conceded her Republican primary to her Donald Trump-endorsed opponent and hinted at the next chapter in her political career. “And now the real work begins.” Cheney referenced another Republican who lost congressional races before ultimately ascending to the White House, setting off speculation that Cheney might be eying a presidential bid in 2024. After leading this summer’s hearings of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, Cheney continued her assault on Trump and his legacy Tuesday. “The path was clear, but it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election.” Cheney, elected to Wyoming’s at-large congressional seat in 2016, crossed Trump and the GOP base when she voted to impeach him over inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, mob attack at the Capitol, making her a target for a primary opponent.
