Hours after losing her Wyoming Republican primary to a candidate backed by Donald Trump, Rep. Liz Cheney said she's considering a run for president.
"I'm not going to make any announcements here this morning, but it's something that I'm thinking about and I'll make a decision in the coming months," Cheney said during an interview on " TODAY."
She said she would be doing everything she could to keep Trump out of the Oval Office.
The vice chair of the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack will be spending the next several months finishing her work in Congress, as well as continuing to serve. She was one of Trump's toughest critics after she voted to impeach him.
"I'm going to be making sure that people are aware of what's at stake," Cheney said. My party has become a cult of personality due to the fact that it is the only major political party.
Cheney was defeated in the Republican primary by a Trump supporter.
The primary election is over Cheney called on Americans to join her fight against Trump during her concession speech.
Insider was told by Cheney allies that she will remain in the public eye and that some would like to see her run for president.
A new Federal Election Commission filing shows that Cheney has converted her House campaign finance committee into a federal leadership political action committee which can be used to raise money.
In the coming weeks, the congresswoman will be launching an organization to educate the American people, and to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president.
Trump was celebrating Cheney's loss.
He wrote on his social media platform that she will be happier now that she can disappear into the depths of political oblivion.
