CASPER, Wyo. – People in Casper, Wyoming, shared their thoughts on whether Rep. Liz Cheney should run for president in 2024.
“No, please, no, no, no,” one woman, BJ, said.

“She’s trying to get Democrats to vote for her, and she’s been pushing a lot of Democrats’ stuff,” Frank said. “She should just go ahead and change parties. I don’t see her getting a whole lot of support from Republicans.”
Cheney asked Democrats and Independents in Wyoming to switch parties and vote for her in her the primary election Tuesday.
One man, Lee, said: “You’re either one side or the other. You’re not both.”
