On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump commented on a new statement from Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) about how she is “not ruling anything in or out” when it comes to running for president in 2024.
“Liz Cheney is polling sooo low in Wyoming, and has sooo little support, even from the Wyoming Republican Party, that she is looking for a way out of her Congressional race,” Trump wrote in a statement. “Based on all polling, there is no way she can win. She’ll either be yet another lobbyist or maybe embarrass her family by running for President, in order to save face. This warmongering fool wants to stay in the Middle East and Afghanistan for another 19 years, but doesn’t consider the big picture—Russia and China!”

Earlier this year, Wyoming Republicans censured Cheney, who reportedly has a 10% approval rating in the Republican party, over her vote to impeach Trump, with only 8 of 74 members of the state Republican’s central committee opposing the censure.
Cheney told the New York Post on Monday that she could not rule out a 2024 presidential run, and that senators who were against certifying the 2020 presidential election should be disqualified from running.
“I’m not ruling anything in or out — ever is a long time,” Cheney said. “I think we have a huge number of interesting candidates, but I think that we’re going to be in a good position to be able to take the White House. I do think that some of our candidates who led the charge, particularly the senators who led the unconstitutional charge, not to certify the election, you know, in my view that’s disqualifying.”

Cheney added, “I think that adherence to the Constitution, adherence to your oath has got to be at the top of the list. So, I think, you know that certainly will be a factor that I’m looking at and I think a number of voters will be looking at as they decide about ’24.”
Trump Jr. also reacted to Cheney’s comments in a Twitter post, “I can only assume this means that Lincoln Project Liz is planning a primary challenge to Joe Biden for the Dem nomination because God knows she’d be lucky to break 5% running in the 2024 Republican primary.”
