Elizabeth Lynne Cheney is an American attorney and former politician who served as the U.S. representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 2017 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, she previously held a leadership position as the chair of the House Republican Conference. She is widely recognized for her conservative political record and her role as a prominent figure within the party.
Cheney gained significant national prominence for her vocal and consistent opposition to former President Donald Trump, particularly following the January 6 Capitol attack. This stance led to her removal from her House leadership post in 2021 and her subsequent primary election defeat in 2022, making her a central figure in discussions about the direction of the Republican Party.
She has recently been in the news due to her involvement in the funeral services for her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. According to various news reports, her eulogy was noted for its reflections on her father's legacy and for containing pointed political commentary. The event drew widespread media attention for gathering a bipartisan group of dignitaries and for its symbolic significance in the current political landscape.
