Liz Cheney announces her latest plan to keep Trump out of White House [View all]

Source: NJ.com

By Matt Arco | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Liz Cheney, a former Republican leader in the House of Representatives before she was booted from office by GOP voters for leading the investigation into former President Trump, has vowed to do everything possible to keep Trump from returning to the presidency.

On Wednesday, after Trump’s GOP rival, Nikki Haley, withdrew from the Republican presidential primary, Cheney announced her latest effort: a Political Action Committee aimed at helping President Biden get re-elected.

“The GOP has chosen,” Cheney tweeted. “They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We have eight months to save our republic and ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office again. Join me in the fight for our nation’s freedom.”

The PAC is named “The Great Task,” after a speech given by Abraham Lincoln.
