She told the Texas Tribune Festival over the weekend “I’m going to make sure Donald Trump, and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure he is not the nominee. And if he is the nominee, I won’t be a Republican.”
When asked if she would campaign for Democrats, Cheney said, “Yes.”

This statement by Cheney comes just weeks after she lost her bid for re-election, and was censured by the Wyoming GOP and the RNC, for her participation in the House Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee.
Cheney continued telling the crowd that she would campaign against the Arizona Republican Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, because of her concerns about election integrity.
“I’m going to do everything I can do to make sure Kari Lake is not elected,” Cheney stated.
