Liz Cheney says she's not running for president

Source: Politico

Rep. Liz Cheney isn’t running for president, she said in a combative Fox News interview on Thursday.

The Wyoming Republican, who recently said she wouldn’t rule out running, told Fox’s Bret Baier night that she wasn’t throwing her hat in the ring after she was booted from her role as House GOP conference chair Wednesday.

“I am not, Bret,” Cheney told Baier, responding to his question about whether she is vying for the 2024 nomination. “What I think is really important is that we make sure that the former president, because we know what he is capable of … and because we know how important it is for us to be able to advance Republican ideals, that we make sure that he never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.”

In a “Today Show” interview taped soon after Wednesday’s vote, Cheney said she would do “whatever it takes” to thwart another Donald Trump term when asked whether she’d consider running.

Apparently, hunting only causes grave wounding.

... they should stop asking. Most politicians are thinking about running at some point... but she could change her mind a few times before deciding. My guess is she will look at those running and enter if it hurts Trump. Or, she could enter and drop out to hurt Trump.

They both want Trump. He is scared to death "holed up" in his Florida and New Jersey homes like a MAGAt cockroach.
