Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R- WY) reportedly drew a "big crowd" in Iowa on Wednesday. Cheney, a frequent critic of former president Donald Trump, recently told a story of the ex-president's "depravity" on Jan. 6 that she said should show why he must be defeated.
Trump commonly boasts about the importance of crowd sizes, including inflating his own. But Cheney did no such thing. Instead, it's outside reports and photos suggesting the large speech crowd.
Conservative Heath Mayo said, "Looks like a lot of [Principles First] folks are out in force in Iowa tonight." He linked to a video of the crowd from Kevin Cavallin, who said he was waiting to hear Cheney speak at Drake University's Bucksbaum Lecture Series in Des Moines.
Another user on X, @Kara_ahern, said, "Big crowd in Des Moines tonight to hear Liz Cheney." @SacksRosie wrote, "Full house...a lot more people in this crowd than Trump could attract...Liz Cheney always said she would make it her business that Trump would never get back into the WH..this is impressive."

(2,183 posts)I keep getting a nagging fear that Liz Cheney is gonna step into the race if Trump is convicted or jailed.
She is Dick's daughter, she plans, she is smart, and she would be tough. It worries me a bit.

(8,923 posts)for me. Ill worry about later later. Right now looks like Trump is running. Also, the magats are so mad at Liz I dont think shed be a general election concern even if something did happen to Trump.
