Liz Cheney: My Re-Election Will Be a Referendum on the Republican Party
[BREITBART] Rep. Liz Cheney
...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
(R-WY), the embattled former Republican conference chair, during an interview Wednesday with the Wall Street Journal’s "Women, Power and Equity" event, said she sees her "re-election bid as a referendum on the future of the Republican Party."
“L'Etat c'est moi”
The Wyoming Republican said voters are "potentially facing a choice between what she sees as traditional conservative values and loyalty to former President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
." She said she already sees the upcoming 2022 midterm election as being a difficult one for her.

Cheney was ousted by her party from leadership earlier this month for having repeatedly criticized former President Donald Trump for his past statements on the 2020 election. She even went as far as to say she regrets voting for Trump.

Trump himself celebrated at the news of her removal going through, saying "Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being,"

In her interview, she "anticipate[s] it’s going to be a hard-fought race," adding that the race will probably receive a lot of national attention.

She continued to say, "I really do think it’s one that will be a moment where the people of Wyoming can demonstrate to the country our commitment to the Constitution." Cheney believes the race will be "very important in terms of the future of the party and the future of our republic."

Cheney, during the interview, reportedly took time to mention some of the policy issues she believes are important for voters in Wyoming, like "oil and gas leasing on public lands," noting she barely had any policy-related difference with the former president.

Cheney was one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump. She said, "It became very clear that staying in leadership would require me to perpetuate the lie about the last election, perpetuate the big lie, perpetuate things that are dangerous."

She told the Journal "she hoped Republicans would begin to rally around traditional conservative policy issues like military spending instead of Mr. Trump in the future.

#2 Considering that the GOP found a guy with Roy Moore type problems to run against her, she may not have much to worry about.

#6 That is the call for liberal voters to sign up as Republican to save her job as the New McCain of the GOP. Only scoundrel's claim their election is some super-special referendum on national issues.
