Liz Cheney lost the round to Donald Trump.
But she is determined to win the match.
– He will never come near the White House again, said the former top Republican in his speech this morning.
Republican Liz Cheney, who incurred the wrath of ex-President Trump by voting for impeachment, lost her Wyoming primary early this morning and her seat in the House of Representatives.
She is a member of the congressional commission investigating the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and Trump’s responsibility for the violence.
Victory for Trump
Last night Donald Trump got to cheer.
In the last 2020 primary election, Cheney received 73 percent of the Republican electoral vote. This time she is expected to lose big. Shortly after the polls closed, the numbers showed a landslide victory for opponent Harriet Hageman.
In a speech in Jackson, Wyoming after she conceded defeat, Cheney said she “could have easily won again this time.”
– But that would have meant that I accepted President Trump’s lies about the election being stolen, she said.
Will keep fighting
The former president has put a lot of time and effort into getting his revenge on Cheney. He has backed and campaigned for Hageman, who has repeated his accusations that the 2020 election was “rigged.”
For Liz Cheney, the fight against Donald Trump continues.
– The primary election campaign is over, but now the real work begins, Cheney said last night, saying that she will do everything she can to stop the former president from returning to the White House.
Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was one of the top Republicans in the House of Representatives, but was fired from the leadership after dissociating herself from President Trump and his attempts to change the outcome of the election.
It is speculated that Cheney could run for president in 2024. Donald Trump, despite numerous hints in that direction, has not confirmed that he himself is aiming for a comeback in the White House.
