Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Tuesday said she will avoid taking any steps that could help former President Donald Trump in his quest to return to the White House, adding that he should face consequences for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
Cheney, a fierce Trump critic who has been floated as a likely 2024 presidential hopeful after she failed to win reelection in Wyoming last November, was interviewed on the stage of the Aspen Ideas Festival by NBC News’ Lester Holt. Asked if she would pursue a presidential bid as a third-party candidate, Cheney replied: ”I’m not going to do anything that helps Donald Trump.”
Cheney added that she will be making a decision on her future plans “later on this year,” but said ultimately her biggest concern is blocking Trump.
“The way I’m thinking about where we are and what has to be done is much less about what should I do in terms of am I going to be a candidate or not and much more about stopping Donald Trump whatever that takes,” Cheney told Holt. “But also helping elect other good candidates down-ballot.”
Cheney also weighed in on Trump’s historic federal indictment over his alleged mishandling of top-secret files, referencing the tape of Trump describing a document compiled by Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when he was president, on potential attacks on Iran, as yet another example of why Trump shouldn’t serve again in the White House.
“There’s simply no question that he’s unfit to be the president of the United States,” she said.
