TL;DR Summary

Liz Cheney has publicly supported efforts to disqualify Donald Trump from future ballots, citing the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause due to his actions during the January 6 Capitol riot. She argues that Trump's behavior fits the constitutional language that could bar him from holding office, even without a criminal conviction. Cheney's stance comes as the Supreme Court considers Trump's appeal against a state court's decision to remove him from the primary ballot. Despite criticism from some Republicans, Cheney remains a vocal opponent of Trump and is considering a potential third-party presidential run to prevent his re-election.
