Wyoming Republican Rep.Liz Cheneywill be leaving Congress soon, but she has pledged to remain active in national politics – doing everything she can to keep Donald rump from the White House and election deniers from winning political offices.

We got a clearer look at what that future for Cheney might look like this week.First, she endorsed Michigan Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin in a nip-and-tuck race for Michigan’s 7th District. Cheney called Slotkin, who she serves with on the House Armed Services Committee, “a good and honorable public servant” who is “in this for the right reasons.” Cheney is also set to campaign with Slotkin next week.

Cheney’s PAC is running ads that slam two Arizona Republicans – gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake and secretary of state nominee Mark Finchem – for their election denialism.“You have a candidate for governor, Kari Lake, you have a candidate for secretary of state, Mark Finchem, both of whom have said that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it,” Cheney says in the ad, which the PAC is spending $500,000 on.

“And if you care about the survival of our republic, we cannot give people power who will not honor elections.”This is what the near-future is going to look like for Cheney, it seems.

She has been cast out of the modern Republican Party – first removed from her role as the third-ranking Republican in the House last year and then convincingly beaten in an August primary.

“I’m going to make sure Donald Trump, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure he is not the nominee,” Cheney said last month about the 2024 presidential race. “And if he is the nominee, I won’t be a Republican.”
