Included on the list is a figure who just won&#8217;t go away, the soon-to-be-former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/rebeccadowns\/2022\/08\/16\/liz-cheney-primary-n2609962\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lost her primary in August<\/a> by nearly 40 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Today Show&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/news\/time-2022-person-of-the-year-shortlist-rcna60072\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">put out<\/a> a list of the finalists that they had obtained. On Wednesday the person or persons of the year will be exclusively revealed to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alex Port\u00e9e&#8217;s write-up included a blurb on the various names included on the shortlist, and had this to say about Cheney:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"isPasted\">Following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Liz Cheney has continuously voiced her support for the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, which has had resounding effects on her political career over the last year and a half.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just months after first expressing support for Trump\u2019s impeachment, the<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a data-activity-map=\"article-content-link-14\" href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/news\/liz-cheney-removed-house-gop-leadership-t218187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">House Republicans voted to remove Cheney<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>from the No. 3 position in caucus leadership. Then, in August 2022, the congresswoman lost her House seat in the Wyoming primary to her Trump-endorsed opponent, Harriet Hageman. Following the loss, Cheney spoke with TODAY\u2019s Savannah Guthrie in an<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a data-activity-map=\"article-content-link-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/news\/politics\/liz-cheney-make-decision-coming-months-running-president-rcna43464?search=liz%20cheney\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exclusive interview<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>on Aug. 17, where she said she would do \u201cwhatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office\u201d in the next election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, it would be helpful to have some context in order. Cheney was not so much removed from her position as then House Republican Conference chair in May of last year for her opposition to former and potentially future President Donald Trump, but because she made it such a distraction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other names on the list include Xi Jinping, Elon Musk, the U.S. Supreme Court, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, MacKenzie Scott, the protesters in Iran, Ron DeSantis, Janet Yellen, and &#8220;Gun Safety Advocates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless as to if Cheney is chosen as the person of the year or not, it&#8217;s unfortunately not likely she&#8217;ll be going away quietly. As mentioned in the except above, she sat down for an eyebrow-raising interview with Savannah Guthrie, where she revamped her opposition to Trump. The interview raised eyebrows in part because <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/katiepavlich\/2022\/08\/17\/cheney-confirms-her-presidential-ambitions-n2611878\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">she did not rule out a run<\/a> against Trump.
