The question rose during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on State of the Union that primarily focused on the Jan. 6 committee's work. Toward the end of the talk, Tapper asked Cheney if she would weigh running for President in order to stop former President Donald Trump from regaining the position.
"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.

Cheney is facing a hard GOP primary fight against Trump-backed Harriet Hageman for her at-large district. The contest is set for Aug. 16.
Her state's Republican Party rebuked the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney following her vote to impeach Trump after the Capitol riot, and later, the party voted in November to stop recognizing her as a Republican altogether.

In a symbolic move that virtually doesn't do anything, the Wyoming GOP Central Committee voted 31-29 on Saturday to no longer acknowledge the state’s only representative as a member of their party.
The state’s Republican leaders held the vote after several counties voted to no longer count her among their ranks, with some passing the decision unanimously, said Joey Correnti, chairman of the Carbon County GOP.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, attracted the anger of some Republicans for voting to impeach Donald Trump and repeatedly lambasted him for his words and actions in relation to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
“[Cheney] cast her vote in favor of impeachment without any quantifiable evidence of High Crimes or Misdemeanors," the resolution said. "As to date, no quantifiable and or undisputed evidence has been offered Representative Liz Cheney to defend her questionable decision."

Cheney’s office called the resolution “laughable.”
“It’s laughable to suggest Liz is anything but a committed conservative Republican," a Cheney spokesman told the Casper Star-Tribune. "She is bound by her oath to the Constitution. Sadly, a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle, and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man.” Cheney is up for reelection 2022, and Trump has endorsed Harriet Hageman, a former Republican National Committee official and 2018 candidate for Wyoming governor, to unseat her.
