Liz Cheney Urges Voters to Combat GOP Cowardice and Reject Trump in Future Elections

Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney emphasized the need to be ready to defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box, regardless of the Supreme Court's pending decision on his disqualification based on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. The Colorado Supreme Court had ruled Trump ineligible for the state's primary ballot due to his actions during the Capitol riot, a decision Trump has appealed. Cheney also commented on another case regarding Trump's claim of presidential immunity from charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election, stating that she believes there is no basis for such immunity and that the evidence against Trump should be made available to voters before the elections.

"Cheney Counters Johnson's Election Claims as He Continues to Question Biden's Victory"

House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed claims of being an election denier as "nonsense" but did not explicitly acknowledge Biden's victory in the 2020 election, citing constitutional violations during the election process. Despite supporting a lawsuit to overturn the election results, Johnson recognizes Biden as the current president and works with him, referring to the election issues as "water under the bridge." Former Rep. Liz Cheney criticized Johnson in her book for his role in challenging the election results, which Johnson found surprising, claiming Cheney had once considered supporting the effort.
