In an interview with NBC's "TODAY" show Wednesday morning, Cheney said she was thinking about running for president in four years.
Liz Cheney spoke after the polls closed in the Republican primary.
Cheney said that she would make a decision in the coming months when asked if she would run.
During her concession speech the night before, Cheney said she would do "whatever it takes" to prevent Trump from winning the presidency.
She said the GOP has become a cult of personality and needs to get back to its roots.
Donald Trump poses a grave threat to our republic. According to Cheney, defeating him will require a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents.
Cheney faced backlash in Republican circles for becoming a critic of Trump. Cheney is the vice chairwoman of the January 6 committee, which is investigating the January 6 insurrection. She was removed from her position as head of the House Republican conference after she voted to impeach Trump. The real work begins now that the primary election is over, according to Cheney. She argued she could have easily won the Republican primary again as she did two years ago, but instead chose against a "path" that would have required her to support Trump's efforts to undermine our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. In his speech, Cheney referred to President Lincoln, General Grant and all who fought in the Civil War, which is seen as a hint at a presidential run.
