Senator Mitt Romney predicted that Rep. Liz Cheney will eventually run for president.
Nevertheless, Romney expressed his hope that Cheney wins Tuesday's Wyoming primary.
Cheney hasn't ruled out running for president in 2024.
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, an opponent of former President Donald Trump and a supporter of Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, expressed his belief that the congresswoman might one day run for president.
Tuesday's Republican primary in Wyoming is a battle for Cheney's seat. The three-term senator will have a difficult time winning reelection against her major opposition, Trump supporter Harriet Hageman. According to polls, Hageman has a sizable lead.
"She must have thought about her future in politics. I wish her well. For her, I've organized fundraisers. However, I am aware that under Trump, that might not be achievable "On August 3, Romney spoke with Insider at the Capitol.
"We'll wait and see. She isn't by any means gone, though, in my opinion. She might even run for president, which wouldn't surprise me "Added he.
Since Cheney voted to impeach him for the Capitol siege on January 6, 2021, Trump has worked to get her removed from Congress. Three of the other House Republicans who supported impeachment and ran in primaries this year against opponents backed by Trump lost, while two prevailed.Cheney has stated that her primary campaign and her duties as vice head of the House Select Committee looking into January 6 are her main priorities. However, when questioned about it in recent interviews, she did not rule out running for president.
In July, Cheney told CNN that she had not yet made a choice regarding 2024 and that she will do so "down the road."
