In conceding the race, Cheney — a fierce critic of Trump who has played a prominent role in the congressional investigation of the January 6 assault on the Capitol — said she was not willing to “go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election” to win a primary. “I believe that Donald Trump continues to pose a very grave threat and risk to our republic. And I think that defeating him is going to require a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents. And that’s what I intend to be part of,” Cheney said.
That race pits Sarah Palin, a former governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who has been endorsed by Trump, against fellow Republican Nick Begich and Democrat Mary Peltola. The winner will be announced on August 31.
