Cheney vows that she will carry on her work to make sure Trump doesn't return to the presidency.Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., appears at an Election Day gathering in Jackson, Wyo., to concede defeat in a GOP primary to Harriet Hageman, who was backed by former President Trump.
Cheney addressed supporters in Jackson Hole, near her home, and one of the few areas in the state where she won the county, repeating her vow to do whatever she can to stop Trump from returning to the White House. Mary Martin, chair of the Teton County Republican Party in Wyoming, supported Cheney in the past, but says Cheney's interaction with voters changed following her sharp break with the former president.
Cheney's public statements hinted for some time she's focused on the long game. In June, she delivered a blunt broadside at fellow House GOP members still loyal to Trump at the primetime kick off of the public hearings of the House panel probing Jan, 6.
