Liz Cheney Vows to Do 'Whatever It Takes' to Stop Donald Trump's 2024 Nomination; Says She 'Won't Be a Republican' if It Happens

Rep. Liz Cheney has made a commitment to do "whatever it takes" to prevent the 2024 nomination of the GOP for presidential elections to be handed to former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Axios reported that the Republican lawmaker made her criticism of the former president during the Texas Tribune Festival, wherein she noted that she will be doing whatever it takes to ensure that Trump "isn't anywhere close to the Oval Office."

Cheney added that it surprised her how most about her work on the committee is "how sophisticated the plan was that" Trump was involved in and oversee every step of the way.

The Republican lawmaker did not mention if she will run for president in 2024 but noted that it was important to immediately jump into "the horse race" and think about what the country needs.

Rep. Liz Cheney Shunning Away Republican Party

Rep. Liz Cheney said that if Donald Trump were to become the party's presidential nominee in, "I won't be a Republican," according to a CNN News report.

Cheney noted that she will be campaigning for Democrats to ensure that Republican candidates "who promote election lies" will not be in a position of power.

However, the Republican House lawmaker also mentioned that there are several "bad policies" under the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden.

Cheney lost against Trump-backed attorney Harriet Hageman last month.

Regarding questions about whether she will run as a president in 2024, she previously said that she plans to wait until next year to make any decisions when she is no longer serving as the vice chair of the House's January 6 select committee.

Cheney's term will end on Jan. 3, 2023, but has not made any definitive announcements about what is next in her political career.

Donald Trump Republican Presidential Nomination

Donald Trump has been repeatedly teasing about her next presidential run despite facing numerous legal and political problems.

A PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll noted in early September that more than six in 10 Americans do not want Trump to run in 2024.

Director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, Lee Miringoff, said Trump's numbers do not move and that "they're locked in."

Miringoff said that it can be considered a good thing as his numbers do not drop. However, only about a third of the electorate is in his corner, which is not a "great place" to start an election campaign.

Only 28% of independents believe that Trump should be running again for the presidential seat.

The former president is currently facing probes and legal challenges, with more recently a civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The Department of Justice has also been looking at top secret documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence while the U.S. House select committee is looking at the events leading to the riot on January 6.
