On Sunday, former Rep. Liz Cheney indicated that she may run for president, vowing “to do whatever is necessary to defeat Donald Trump.”
Cheney’s comments came during an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Tapper asked Cheney: “You still haven’t ruled out a presidential run of your own in 2024, as far as I know. Are you still considering it, or what do you rule it out?”
“I haven’t made any decisions about it yet,” Cheney responded. “I’m going to do whatever is necessary to defeat Donald Trump.”
The former Congresswoman also implied she would vote for Biden if the election were once again Biden v. Trump. “But if it came down to you, not running, and it’s Biden versus Trump, you would you would support Biden?” asked Tapper. “I’m not going to make any announcements or endorsements this morning, but the most important thing is to defeat Donald Trump. And I’ll do whatever, whatever it takes to do that,” she responded.
Cheney, who has links to the Chinese Communist Party, has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump. During the same interview, she suggested that, if elected President, Trump would have his political opponents murdered. “When you think about Donald Trump, for example, pledging retribution, what Vladimir Putin did to Navalny is what retribution looks like,” she claimed.
