Cheney: 'Guardrails of democracy' must keep Trump in check [View all]

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Wednesday that citizens, courts, media and elected officials would now serve as the “guardrails of democracy” after former President Trump resoundingly won a second term.

“Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect,” Cheney, a prominent critic of the former president, wrote on the social platform X. “All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections.”

“We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years,” she continued.

“Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.”
