Who is GOP Rep. Liz Cheney? What are her political positions? Is she running for president? What we know.

Wyoming congresswoman, daughter of a former vice president and former President Donald Trump's most prominent Republican critic.

Liz Cheney lost her reelection bid Tuesday in Wyoming, but said in her concession speech she'll "do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office."

Cheney has been a representative since 2017, and was the chair of the House Republican Conference until May 2021, when Republicans voted to remove her from party leadership for criticizing Trump for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Wyoming GOP leadership also voted to no longer recognize her as a member of the party.

While Cheney won her reelection bid of 2020 with 73% of the vote, she lost to Republican Harriet Hageman by a 30-point margin. Hageman previously supported Cheney, but had the endorsement of Trump and said Cheney was out of touch with what Wyoming voters wanted.

Cheney remains focused on the future of the Republican Party, filing a form on Wednesday morning with the Federal Elections Commission to revamp her campaign account to a leadership PAC called "The Great Task," a reference to former President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
