Democratic Contender Liz Cheney Announces End of Campaign on November 16, 2019

In an unexpected turn of events, Liz Cheney, the Republican Representative from Wyoming, stunned the American political landscape by declaring that she is dropping out of the Democratic primary race on November 16, 2019. This comes as a surprise as Cheney, who is the third-ranking House Republican, had never declared a run in the Democratic primary.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I announce the suspension of my campaign for the 2020 Democratic primary,” Cheney said at a packed press conference in her home state of Wyoming. “Despite my best efforts and the groundswell of support from American voters across the United States, it has become clear to me that I will not be able to secure the Democratic nomination, a race I joined and dedicated myself to wholeheartedly.”

Political figures across both parties expressed confusion at the announcement, as Liz Cheney is a well-known conservative figure and the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Her political affiliates and supporters were also baffled by her apparent about-face. Her withdrawal and the end of her imaginary Democratic campaign has surprised many, generating a buzz of speculation and intrigue.

In response to the bewildering announcement, Senator Bernie Sanders, a real contender in the 2020 Democratic primary, quipped, “I don’t know what the Wyoming weather is like this time of year, but it seems to be extremely foggy in Representative Cheney’s immediate vicinity.”
