Bloomberg News first reported the call Wednesday evening, after Cheney spent the morning further suggesting she could run for president in 2024 – meaning she could be a future political rival to the Democratic president.

But political strategists have warned she has virtually no chance to win a Republican presidential primary, according to a fresh report from Fox News Channel.

Lauren Claffey Tomlinson, a Republican strategist and president of Claffey Communications, told Fox it was ‘highly unlikely’ she’d find success.

‘It’s highly unlikely she could win the nomination, but she could bring into the primary conversation issues important to voters that moved away from President Trump in 2020,’ Tomlinson said.
