Liz Cheney is openly considering a presidential run
as the beginning of a more consequential step in her political career. She summoned Abraham Lincoln, who lost elections for the House and Senate and still went on to become one of the nation's most accomplished presidents.
In the hours after she conceded her Wyoming congressional primary to a little-known Trump acolyte, Cheney's team transferred leftover campaign funds into a new entity she named"The Great Task," borrowing a phrase from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. She vowed to devote the weeks before theto defeating Trump loyalists who continue to promote the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
Despite those factors, there has been little sign of enthusiasm for Cheney in the states most likely to decide the next GOP presidential nomination. Other voters who stopped by the GOP booth were less pointed than Wyna but no less dismissive of Cheney's political ambitions. “Where do the votes come from? Maybe she aggregates the anti-Trump vote, but that’s not enough,” said Collins, a former political director for the Republican National Committee. “She’s my kind of Republican, but I don’t see an opening.”
