Like many other politicians, Liz Cheney attacks Donald Trump to keep her name relevant. You know, Liz Cheney, who lost her primary to a Trump-backed candidate in devastating fashion.
While appearing at the Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday, Cheney pulled off a masterful Trump name drop.
"I'm gonna make sure Donald Trump — I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure he's not the nominee," Cheney said to Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith. "And if he is the nominee, I won't be a Republican."

When asked about running for president in 2024, Cheney said, "I certainly will do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump isn't anywhere close to the Oval Office."
Cheney also talked about Kari Lake, the Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate in Arizona. "I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Kari Lake is not elected," Cheney declared.
She also mentioned Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. "We have to make sure Mastriano doesn't win."

Does that include campaigning for Democrats?

Lake fired back during an appearance on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."
"That might be the biggest, best gift I have ever received," Lake jokingly said to host Maria Bartiromo. "I mean, the people in Wyoming can't stand her, I'm pretty much sure the people of Arizona don't like Liz Cheney."
"The Republican Party, the new Republican Party, is the party of we, the people," Lake roasted Cheney. "It is no longer the party of warmongers."
"Liz Cheney probably should change her voter registration," Lake quipped. "Turns out she really is a Democrat after all."

Lake also called out her hypocrisy on Twitter. Lake tweeted, "She’s putting more energy into electing Democrats than she did into winning her own primary lol."
