Liz Cheney thinks conservatives might have to consider a future beyond the Republican party.

During the Cap Times Idea Fest in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, the former congresswoman from Wyoming said shes had a hard time reckoning with what the GOP has become and wondered if it may be time for a new political party to emerge.

Whether its organizing a new party look, its hard for me to see how the Republican Party , given what it has done, can make the argument convincingly or credibly that people ought to vote for Republican candidates until it really recognizes what its done, Cheney said, as quoted in a report by The New York Times .

There is certainly going to be a big shift, I think, in how our politics work, she continued. I dont know exactly what that will look like.

Cheney added that she had serious doubts about the party finding a way to reform itself, saying whats happened over the last few years under the leadership of Donald Trump has been too damaging.

I dont think it will just simply be, Well, the Republican Party is going to put up a new slate of candidates and off to the races, she said. I think far too much has happened thats too damaging.

Earlier this month, both Cheney and her father, former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney , sent shockwaves through the political world when they endorsed Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris .

I dont believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates names particularly in swing states, she told an audience at North Carolinas Duke University.
