Trump warned Tuesday that the Wyoming congresswoman would become violent or “perhaps embarrass his circle of relatives by running for president” to save appearances amid a complaint about his vote to charge Trump for his role in the January 6 insurrection on the U. S. Capitol.
Cheney canceled such concepts a call with reporters in Wyoming.
“I’m sure I’m committed and determined to win my number one and win the votes of the other people of Wyoming,” Cheney said.
“This is a critical time for Washington’s most powerful user to fight for our values, fight for our energy industry, our agricultural industry, our families,” added Cheney, the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Cheney joined nine Republican representatives and all Democrats in the U. S. House of Representatives to vote in favor of the indictment and called it a vote of his opposition to Trump’s betrayal of his workplace and his promise to respect the Constitution.
In February, the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Wyoming censed Cheney for his vote; four Republicans are already running it in 2022.
They come with two state legislators, Senator Anthony Bouchard of Cheyenne and Rep. Chuck Gray of Casper, who are not well known beyond Wyoming’s two largest cities. Two other Republican war parties are even less well known. Wyoming’s most sensitive elected officials have expressed favor with Cheney or failed to intervene in his indictment vote.
Cheney raised $1. 54 million in the first quarter of 2021, his biggest quarterly profit since his first crusade in the United States in 2016. Bouchard raised approximately $334,000 and Gray $164,000, $133,000 on his own.
Cheney insisted that Republicans remain united in their purpose of reclaiming space and majority in the Senate in 2022.
“We want to turn concepts and content into a policy, give hope to others. And also convey that other people can accept as true with us, that they can count on us, that we are the party of responsibility and security in themselves. and conservative leadership,” he said Wednesday. I think in all those problems we have a genuine unity. “
