According to former congresswoman Liz Cheney, democracy itself will be up for grabs in the 2024 presidential contest, making the stakes much higher than one party defeating another. “A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in,” Cheney warned Savannah Guthrie in an interview that aired on NBC’s Today show on Monday morning.

According to Cheney, she thinks Trump would try to serve a second term in office if he prevails and returns to the White House. “You believe he would aim to hold onto power indefinitely?” Guthrie queried.
Yes, indeed,” remarked Cheney. He’s carried it out once before. In fact, he has already made an attempt to seize power if you consider what he did in the lead-up to January 6th, including his pressure on the vice president to not count valid electoral votes, his pressure on state and federal officials, and his refusal to send aid when the Capitol was under attack.
Cheney, a significant Republican member of the January 6 Committee looking into the Capitol attack, was not re-elected. She discusses the months following the 2020 election in a recent memoir, describing a “really depressed” Donald Trump who was “not eating” because to his loss.
Early on Monday morning, Trump, who is still leading the majority of early Republican presidential surveys, attacked Cheney on Truth Social by stating that “Crazy In her dull new book, Liz Cheney, a Trump derangement syndrome sufferer on a never-before-seen scale, claims that Keven (sic) McCarthy claimed he went to Mar-a-Lago following the rigged election because “the former president was depressed and not eating.” It is untrue to say that. I was angry rather than melancholy, and my overindulgence in food was the cause of my anger.
