Republican donors have been lining up behind U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney as she takes on former President Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON -- Bobbie and Bill Kilberg were expecting a few dozen people for their fundraiser Monday for GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, an intimate cocktail party they were planning at their home in McLean, Virginia.
"Would it surprise me? Not even in the slightest," said Landon Brown, a state representative in Wyoming and one of the few elected Republicans there publicly backing Cheney in the primary.Cheney's own activity suggests she is laying the groundwork for something more. Last year, she traveled to the early primary state of New Hampshire. She has been making speeches to national Republican organizations such as the centrist Ripon Society.
Among the others on the fundraiser's invitation are several luminaries of the pre-Trump GOP and veterans of past Republican administrations, including Cheney's parents, former Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney, and her sister, Mary, and Mary's wife, Heather. "That baton has passed to Liz. She is the one," said one Republican operative who has spoken with Cheney occasionally.Mike Pence condemns Republican Russia 'apologists' as Donald Trump continues Vladimir Putin praise
But any pursuit of a White House bid would depend on Cheney's performance against Hageman in the Wyoming primary on August 16. Given Trump's animosity toward the congresswoman, the full power of his political operation could be directed toward her. And Hageman and her allies have seized on Cheney's connections to powerful Republicans in Washington.
