NBC News projected Tuesday night that Cheney, former chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and the elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, ...

She also denounced the former president for allegedly releasing the names of FBI agents involved in a search of his Mar-a-Lago resort “when he knows that our law enforcement is the target of violence.” Asked if she plans to run for president, she first deflected and argued that the GOP needs to be taken in a different direction. “It’s the most important thing I’ve ever been involved in, and I think it’s certainly the most important thing, challenge, that our nation has faced in recent history, and maybe since the Civil War. At the end of July, she had more than $7 million cash on hand, according to FEC filings. "I believe that Donald Trump continues to pose a very grave threat and risk to our republic. Overnight, Cheney formed a new leadership political action committee called "The Great Task," an aide confirmed to NBC.

Cheney releases concession call audio to refute primary opponent's ... (Politico)

After Harriet Hageman — the Trump-backed victor in Wyoming's Republican primary — said her opponent didn't concede, the Cheney campaign provided a ...

When Hannity sought to clarify that she was alleging Cheney had “just said ‘Hello, Harriet’ and then hung up,” Hageman reiterated: “That was the end of the call, yes.” She made the one effort and all she said was ‘Hello, Harriet.’ And then that was the end of it,” Hageman said. It includes only one message directly from Cheney, though they said Hageman’s team received other communications from elsewhere in the defeated incumbent’s campaign. Cheney added that she never heard back from Hageman. “It is about 8:13 on Tuesday the 16th, I’m calling to concede the election and congratulate you on the win. The message as played on-screen contains only Cheney’s two-word greeting before sound cuts off for more than 10 more seconds.

If your job is from 9 to 5, that means the work messages should stop at 5, too. We already have a term for that — it’s called your 30s.” — NICOLE BYER, guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” That’s work.” — TREVOR NOAH And look, I mean we must admit it is probably is a long shot, but don’t forget she is a Cheney, and if there is one thing they’re committed to, it’s regime change.” — TREVOR NOAH “But the Liz Cheney story isn’t over yet because she’s vowed that she will still do anything to stop Trump from becoming president again, even possibly running against him in the Republican primary. She voted to impeach him; she’s led the committee investigating him.

After Wyoming defeat, Cheney prepares for the longer-term fight ... (CNN)

The day after losing the Republican primary for Wyoming's House seat, Rep. Liz Cheney is positioning herself for a longer-term fight with former President ...

"The Republican Party moved away from me," said Buckstaff, a former Republican who in recent years has voted for Democrats. Cheney worked closely with Goldston's team in presenting the committee's findings in a TV-ready fashion to a national audience. "I do think she has a future," Grant said. But the country has got to have a Republican Party that's actually based on substance, based on principles," Cheney said. She even drew a parallel to his losses before he won the presidency in 1860. Cheney would confront the same challenge when she departs office in January, and a presidential candidacy could be the only way to address it. James Goldston, the veteran television producer who has spent the last several months advising the House panel, was on hand in Wyoming for Cheney's speech. Goldston, the former president of ABC News, was surveying the scene at Cheney's campaign event at a cattle ranch outside Jackson. That PAC, which will initially be funded by money left over from her House campaign, gives Cheney a vehicle to raise money and fund her political work. "Look, I think the Republican Party today is in very bad shape, and I think we have a tremendous amount of work to do. Goldston declined to comment. "It is something I'm thinking about, and I'll make a decision in the coming months," Cheney said on NBC's "Today" on Wednesday.
