Recall that Cheney, who is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and who served under former President George W. Bush, was one of just 10 GOP house members who had voted to impeach Donald Trump after the January 6 riot in the US Capitol. CNN said that, before she cast her vote, Cheney gave an impassioned speech in which she said Trump had “summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack” and that “there has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

Trump can count on the support of his administration’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, who said she would abandon her own bid for the White House and back Trump should he choose to run in 2024. CNN, which reported on Haley’s comments, said her sentiments about the former president further prove how popular he continues to be within the party.
But Liz Cheney doesn’t seem to be suffering for defending her principles. Her political adviser revealed that the GOP congresswoman raised $1.54 million for her re-election campaign. The political adviser, Kevin Seifer, told The 19th that donors were responding to her “effective, principled leadership” and, as a result, she raised more money than ever before.
