Cheney is doing everything in her power to hurt and slander the GOP.
In a recent interview at The Capital Times Idea Fest in Madison, Wisconsin, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) suggested that conservatives might need to consider forming a new political party. She expressed deep concern over the current trajectory of the Republican Party, stating that “far too much has happened that’s too damaging” to simply continue as before.
Cheney, known for her criticism of former President Trump, noted that a significant shift is likely in American politics, though she was uncertain about what that would entail. “I don’t think it will just be a new slate of Republican candidates. We need a real change,” she remarked. Her comments resonate with many conservatives who feel disillusioned with the party’s direction.
When pressed by journalist Peter Baker about the possibility of disenchanted conservatives breaking away to form a new party, Cheney did not shy away, saying, “It may well be.” This perspective reflects a growing sentiment among some Republicans who believe that the party must rethink its strategies and values to regain the trust of American voters.
Cheney also made headlines earlier this month by indicating her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, asserting that many Americans are looking for leadership that embodies integrity and respect for democratic principles. She emphasized the need for a president whom children can admire and who will uphold the peaceful transition of power.
Polling data from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ reveals that Harris currently leads Trump nationally, with 50.1 percent to 46.5 percent. This statistic underscores the potential vulnerability of Trump’s candidacy, particularly among moderates and independents.
In response to Cheney’s remarks, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign dismissed her influence by simply asking, “Who’s Liz Cheney?” This highlights a growing divide within the Republican Party, as traditional conservatives wrestle with the party’s new identity. As the political landscape evolves, the future of the GOP remains uncertain, but Cheney’s comments suggest that many conservatives are ready for a change.
