Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) did not rule out running for president in 2024 when asked about it on Sunday.
The question came up during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union that largely focused on the Jan. 6 committee’s work. Toward the end of the conversation, Tapper asked Cheney if she would consider running for president in order to stop former President Donald Trump from regaining the position.
LIZ CHENEY NO LONGER RECOGNIZED BY WYOMING GOP
“At this point, I have not made a decision about 2024. I am really very focused on the substance of what we have to do on the select committee, very focused on the work that I have to do to represent the people of Wyoming, and I’ll make a decision about 2024 down the road,” Cheney said.
Cheney is facing a tough GOP primary fight against Trump-backed Harriet Hageman for her at-large district. The contest is set for Aug. 16.

Rep. Cheney is one of two GOP members of the Jan. 6 committee.
