In a significant development ahead of the 2024 presidential election, four prominent GOP women who once supported former President Donald Trump—Liz Cheney, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews—are set to publicly speak against his reelection. The group will participate in a fireside chat in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, next week, CNN has exclusively learned.
The event, organized by the group Democracy First, will take place in one of Pennsylvania’s critical swing regions—the “collar counties” surrounding Philadelphia—and is expected to emphasize the dangers they believe Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law. The four women will target independents, moderates, and Republicans, urging them to prevent Trump from regaining the presidency in 2024.
Key Players and Their Stance
- Liz Cheney, the former House GOP Conference Chair, has been an outspoken critic of Trump following the January 6 insurrection and has consistently opposed his return to office.
- Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House aide and now a CNN political commentator, frequently uses her media platforms to voice concerns about a second Trump term, though she has not officially endorsed any other candidates.
- Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness in the January 6 hearings, has revealed damaging information about Trump’s actions during the Capitol riots and is now a vocal opponent of his leadership.
- Sarah Matthews, a former Trump White House press aide, also testified during the January 6 hearings and has condemned Trump’s role in the insurrection.
Building Momentum in Battleground States
This Pennsylvania event, scheduled for October 9, will be the first of several appearances planned by the four women in critical battleground states. The event follows Cheney’s expected appearance with Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, another key state for the 2024 election. While Cheney, Hutchinson, and Matthews have endorsed Harris, Griffin has not officially aligned with any candidate.
Though this is not an official campaign event for the Harris-Walz ticket, the fireside chat could set the tone for a broader movement within the Republican Party to distance itself from Trump’s leadership ahead of the election.
With Pennsylvania serving as a pivotal battleground in 2024, the GOP women’s united message against Trump is likely to resonate with voters seeking alternatives to the former president.
