Rep. Liz Cheney is wasting no time beginning the next phase of her bid to prevent Donald Trump's return to office.\xa0\n\u201cIn coming weeks, Liz will be launching an organization to educate the American people about the ongoing threat to our Republic, and to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,\u201d Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler tells Playbook exclusively.\nThe new group, which will serve as Cheney\u2019s primary political vehicle as she considers whether to run for president in 2024, does not have an official name yet. An informed guess: The Great Task, which was the name of Cheney\u2019s final ad of the campaign. The phrase is from the last sentence of the Gettysburg Address, and Cheney also referenced it in her concession speech from Jackson, Wyo., last night.\xa0\nCheney will be on NBC\u2019s \u201cToday Show\u201d at 7 a.m.\nSubscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter\nRaghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the Executive Producer of POLITICO Audio.
