Liz Cheney Contemplates Third-Party Presidential Run Amidst GOP Backlash

Liz Cheney, a prominent critic of Donald Trump within the Republican Party, is considering a third-party presidential run to prevent Trump from returning to office. Cheney warns that Trump could turn America into a dictatorship if reelected and believes democracy is at risk. She acknowledges that her candidacy could draw votes away from President Biden but emphasizes that she will not do anything to help Trump return to the White House. Cheney plans to make a final decision in the coming months. Running as a third-party candidate would present challenges, including securing ballot access and meeting debate participation criteria. Cheney also expresses her willingness to vote for Biden or campaign for him if he becomes the Democratic nominee. She aims to prevent a pro-Trump Republican majority in the House and support "pro-Constitution candidates" regardless of party.
