Liz Cheney said in an interview that aired on Sunday that she has not ruled out a presidential campaign in the future, which could cause her to clash with Donald Trump.
While speaking with Jonathan Karl of ABC's "This Week", the Wyoming Republican indicated that she has not yet made a decision about running for president.
I have yet to make a decision about that. I'm concentrating on my reelection. The January 6th committee is very important to me. She said that she was focused on doing the job she was given.
Cheney faces a tough reelection challenge next month, where she faces several candidates in a GOP primary, including water rights attorney Harriet Hageman, who received the support of Trump.
Even though she didn't have a firm answer about a campaign, she still had the 2024.
She said that she would make a decision about that. I think about it more as an American who's in a position of public trust now and how do I make sure that I do everything I can to do the right thing. What is the right thing to do for the country and the constitution?
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney was first elected to the House in 2016 and quickly rose up the leadership ladder.
She broke away from Trump after he was impeached for inciting insurrection for his actions on January 6.
Her opposition to the former commander-in-chief's claims of a stolen election in 2020 led her GOP colleagues to oust her from House leadership, but she continued in her work probing the insurrection as the Vice Chair of the January 6 committee.
Cheney told Karl that Republicans need to articulate a forward- thinking vision for the party.
She said that those who believe in Republican principles have a responsibility to lead the party back to what it can be.
