As expected, the soon to be former Congressional Rep from Wyoming will not go quietly, and will not cease her efforts to prevent Traitor Trump from going anywhere near the Oval Office.
“Rep. LIZ CHENEY (R-Wyo.) is wasting no time beginning the next phase of her bid to prevent DONALD TRUMP’s return to office.
“In coming weeks, Liz will be launching an organization to educate the American people about the ongoing threat to our Republic, and to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,” Cheney spokesperson JEREMY ADLER tells Playbook exclusively.
The new group, which will serve as Cheney’s primary political vehicle as she considers whether to run for president in 2024, does not have an official name yet. An informed guess: The Great Task, which was the name of Cheney’s final ad of the campaign. The phrase is from the last sentence of the Gettysburg Address, and Cheney also referenced it in her concession speech from Jackson, Wyo., last night.
But the other way to look at it is that Cheney calculated that a national platform and massive fundraising base built around her fearless and uncompromising opposition to Trump is far more politically valuable than serving in McCarthy’s House majority. It is a more modern way of understanding political power in which attention is the coin of the realm.
The market for a compelling foil to Trump is enormous. With Republicans cowed into silence by him, and Democrats guided by strategists who are ambivalent about nationalizing the midterms around him, Cheney has the Trump-hating — and Trump-addicted — slice of the attention economy all to herself. She clearly intends to use it. CNN’s Jeff Zeleny, doing hardship duty from Jackson, notes that JAMES GOLDSTON, the former TV news executive who produced the Jan. 6 hearings, was at Cheney’s campaign event in Jackson with a film crew.
So rather than a kamikaze mission, her primary loss may have been more like parachuting out of a plane that had outlived its usefulness. Her great task now is figuring out where to land.”

Cheney already has $14M in contributions to start, and there is no objective reason to believe many, many more donations will not soon be added to the pot, and very much unlike Traitor Trump, Liz Cheney won’t use the donated money as a personal slush fund.
Traitor Trump, and any of his brain dead Trumpster base that figured Cheney being “primaried” out of Congress would shut her up or deter her from continuing her mission are in for a very unpleasant surprise.
