Republican says she won’t stop fighting after losing House seat to supporter of former president
Liz Cheney may run for US president to stop Trump

Republican Representative Liz Cheney has called on Americans to unite across party lines to keep Mr Donald Trump from winning the White House again following her crushing defeat to a primary challenger backed by the former president.

Ms Cheney, 56, who has served three terms in Wyoming’s sole United States House seat, yesterday vowed to do whatever it takes to block Mr Trump’s path after losing to conservative lawyer Harriet Hageman in Tuesday’s Republican primary race.

Ms Cheney told NBC early yesterday that she was “thinking about” a 2024 presidential run as she launched a new political organisation called The Great Task, a nod to president Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg address.

“That’s a decision that I’m going to make in the coming months,” she said. “It is something that I’m thinking about,” said Ms Cheney, the daughter of Republican former vice-president Dick Cheney.
