Liz Cheney is reentering politics after a shocking departure from Congress this summer. She just took a prestigious professor of practice job at the University of Virginia, and there are rumors that she would run for president in 2024. We may not have seen the last of this fiery politician, unfortunately!
“With democracy under fire in this country and elsewhere around the world, Liz Cheney serves as a model of political courage and leadership. Liz will send a compelling message to students about integrity. She’s a true profile in courage, and she was willing to pay the price for her principles — and democracy itself,” Director of the center Larry Sabato made a statement.

In a statement, Cheney expressed her desire for her work at the institution to “contribute to finding lasting solutions that not only preserve but strengthen our democracy” at a time when “there are many threats facing our system of government.”
“Preserving our constitutional republic is the most important work of our time, and our nation’s young people will play a crucial role in this effort,” she said. “I look forward to working with students and colleagues at the Center to advance the important work they and others at the University of Virginia are doing to improve the health of democracy here and around the world.”
An intriguing clause in Cheney’s contract, which gives him the opportunity to stay at LSU until 2023 and become a staple there again for one or more years, was noted by NBC News. With this arrangement, she has considerable leeway in selecting what role she will play beyond 2024, should other plans materialize.
“She had said she was mulling a possible presidential run in 2024 and has repeatedly said she plans to do whatever it takes to defeat Trump to ensure he doesn’t serve a second term in the White House,” NBC News reported.
Recent reporting from CNN on “Republicans considering 2024 presidential run,” included a profile of Cheney.
“Liz Cheney: The former Wyoming congresswoman who emerged as the foremost GOP critic of Trump’s lies about widespread election fraud lost her House seat to a Trump-backed primary challenger. She launched a political action committee last year and made clear she intends to try to purge the GOP of Trump’s influence. But what that means in the context of a potential 2024 bid is not yet clear,” the outlet noted.
With her words and deeds, Liz Cheney has made it seem as if she could be running for higher office. She is signaling to watchers on all sides of the political spectrum that a prospective candidacy may happen shortly.
Despite rumors and polling data placing Rep. Liz Cheney near the bottom of potential Republican party polls, she recently said in an interview that she was not ruling out running for President in 2024. She placed emphasis on continuing to fight against former president Donald Trump’s agenda.
“At this point, I have not made a decision about 2024. I am really very focused on the substance of what we have to do on the select committee, very focused on the work that I have to do to represent the people of Wyoming, and I’ll make a decision about 2024 down the road,” Cheney said.

She firmly said at the Texas Tribune Festival that she would leave the Republican Party if Donald Trump is chosen as the party’s nominee in 2024.
“I’m going to make sure Donald Trump, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure he is not the nominee. And if he is the nominee, I won’t be a Republican,” she said.
She gave an insightful and thought-provoking answer when asked whether she will run for President in 2024.
“It’s not about me or making a decision about what I’m going to do,” she said. “I certainly will do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump isn’t anywhere close to the Oval Office.”
The American Enterprise Institute’s annual Constitution Day Lecture was recently presented by Cheney, who cited Abraham Lincoln’s “call for a patriotism” grounded in “reverence to the Constitution” and how it’s “essential in protecting our inheritance of liberty, and why we must resist the rise of a mobocratic spirit.”
This is not a coincidence; it is obvious that something more than chance has taken place.
Congresswoman Liz Cheney made a suggestion that she would run for president in 2024 to “stop Donald Trump’s influence” in her concession address in August.
“The path was clear. But it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic,” she said. “That was a path I could not and would not take.”
As she pointed out that Abraham Lincoln lost elections for the House and Senate “before he won the most important election of all” by becoming president, Cheney hinted to a candidacy in 2024.
She admitted on the TODAY Show that she was “thinking about” running for president as a Republican in 2024.

“That’s a decision that I’m going to make in the coming months, and I’m not going to make any announcements here this morning. But it is something that I am thinking about, and I’ll make a decision in the coming months,” When asked whether she had thought about running for president, Cheney said.
