Liz Cheney says ‘there’s no question’ Trump would refuse to leave office if elected again
Former congresswoman Liz Cheney believes Donald Trump would refuse to leave office after a second presidential term if he is reelected and that a vote for him “may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in.”
Cheney, a lifelong Republican who broke with the party after leading the House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, spoke with Savannah Guthrie on TODAY on Dec. 4 about the threat she sees from a second Trump presidential term.
She writes in her new book, “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning,” that the 2024 election will be about whether or not we will still have a democracy.
“It certainly is,” she said. “And Donald Trump has told us exactly what he will do. He will not abide by the rulings of the courts. He will certainly appoint people to office whether or not they can be confirmed by the Senate.
“He has talked about using the military in terms that really are fundamentally un-American. … So it’s a very dangerous moment, and it’s a moment for people to understand that that cannot be the path that we go down as a country.”
