Cheney — the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney — faces a lonely battle within the party to achieve that goal, as the vast majority of its lawmakers either staunchly support Trump or avoid criticizing him. “Cheney will continue to be labeled a Republican, sure, but she would certainly be on the fringes of her party: what was once the fringes is now the center, and the center is the fringes,” said Matt Continetti, a senior fellow at The American. Business Institute. It’s also unclear whether traditional Republicanism has enough support nationally to succeed in mobilizing conservative voters to turn their backs on Trump — or even to provide a springboard for Cheney’s implied 2024 rival presidential bid.

But Cheney, who established herself as Trump’s most prominent Republican critic as vice chair of the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, has carved out a place in politics that will be hard to ignore. In September, he will chair the commission’s public hearings delving into the insurgency, which will bring it back to the center of the political debate. Meanwhile, a number of conservative donors in finance and business are willing to fund her efforts as part of a last-ditch effort to restore the party’s institutional roots. “It’s not the last you’ve heard of Liz Cheney, and frankly, it’s not the last you’ve heard of us,” said Peter Kellner, founder and CEO of investment firm Richmond Global, which donated to Cheney as and David McCormick and Jaime Herrera Beutler this year — all Republicans who lost primary races to Trump-endorsed opponents. “We are an angry group, but we have more pride than anger when it comes to our patriotism,” he added. “If I were Liz, I’d feel really good about myself. And I would sleep easy knowing that there are many of us who see her as one of the most important American women of our generation.” Doug Heye, a Republican strategist, said Cheney’s effort may not be entirely quixotic. The primaries showed that while in Wyoming the grip of Trumpism remains tight, in some swing states such as Pennsylvania, Trump-backed candidates prevailed, but not by a huge margin. However, her path will probably be narrow. Cheney’s family connection to the George W. Bush administration, as well as her hard-right positions on issues such as abortion, may alienate some left-of-center voters, although respect for her among liberals has grown as she struggles to keep the Trump. account. If she runs for president, the fury against her from the right will only intensify, whether she pits herself against Trump for the Republican nomination or an independent ticket. “Cheney’s most successful avenue is to maintain platforms with which she can continue to be outspoken in her criticism of Trump and her opposition to his reinstatement. This can be more direct than a political campaign,” said AEI’s Continetti.

“If he decides to run for president, he will probably be tempted to run for the Republican party just for the chance to appear on stage with Donald Trump at one of the debates,” he added. “I also believe that the establishment Republican party, if Donald Trump is the nominee, will do everything in their power to prevent that from happening.” General Heye said that while Cheney has signaled that she wants to keep the fight against Trump alive, she still needs to refine her plan and her goals. “We don’t know what the strategy behind it will be. Last night she said she was not going to stop her efforts to prevent Donald Trump from being president again. That’s very different from wanting to be the next president,” Heye said Wednesday. “And a lot of people who run for president don’t run with the expectation of becoming president.”
