Not gonna happen.
If Trump does decide to run, no way she comes close. And even if not, Trump would ensure she doesn't win.
Every now and again a battle arises in either party, where someone comes to a crossroads. In question will be their loyalty to the party as a whole, and the other road being their personal beliefs or decision.
We all know what Trump's thoughts were about the results of the election and other actions. Cheney had other thoughts. IMO, she could have perhaps stated better that she disagreed with him, or that she believes he is wrong. Instead she chose to continually talk of his 'big lie', which of course is calling him a liar. He was an 'ongoing threat', 'poisoning' our system, he was 'inciting', he is a 'danger', she regrets voting for him, called for criminal investigations into Trump, she would do everything to keep him from office & of course many things about his supporters in addition.
She could have done this differently, but instead chose to go into attack mode. Her choice, not mine. If me, I would have bitten my tongue and just stood firmly in support of my beliefs and keeping my loyalty to the party and others secure as well. Sometimes in politics one needs to compromise, sometimes that's with the other side of the aisle, sometimes with folks within your own party. :dunno:

Cheney Hints at 2024 Presidential Run — Important We Present Conservative Principles to Voters
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, was advising her to run for president in 2024.
Jon Karl asked, “Jim Jordan talking about a possible Trump 2024 run said, ‘There’s no way he is losing. He’s going to win the Republican primary, and he’s going to be president if he decides to run.’ Now, based on today’s facts, he’s right, isn’t he, about the primary part, at least? I mean, there’s nobody, there’s not even a close second out there, is there?”
Cheney said, “I think Jim’s wrong. It’s not the first time Jim has been wrong, and I’m sure it won’t be the last time, but he is wrong. I think there are millions and millions of Republicans who won’t let that happen again.”
Karl asked, “What will it take for you to run for president?”
Cheney said, “I am right now focused on my re-election in Wyoming.”
