On November 4, 2024, the day before the presidential election, Liz Cheney warned on ABC’s The View that Donald Trump would “continue to melt down” amid his election-fraud claims. Her remarks came in response to a question about whether a Kamala Harris victory could lead to another “Stop the Steal” effort. The warning was a reported pre-election assessment, not proof of what would happen after the vote.
What Cheney said on The View
In a report published November 4, 2024, Joey Nolfi of Entertainment Weekly, republished by AOL, said Cheney appeared on The View that Monday morning. The account says co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked whether viewers should expect another “Stop the Steal” effort if Harris won and how people could prepare. Read the reported exchange.
Cheney’s answer, as quoted in the report, was: “Everybody’s got to be aware that they’re going to do it.” She also said, “You’re going to see Donald Trump continue to melt down.” The report places those remarks in the context of Trump’s election-fraud claims and his anger after a microphone problem.
Why she raised election-fraud claims
The question concerned the possibility of a post-election challenge if Harris won. Nolfi’s account says Cheney pointed to claims from Trump and his campaign that elections were rigged, stolen, or fraudulent, and told viewers to prepare for what Trump might do. The report also notes that Trump had recently said cheating was the only thing that could stop his bid.

Cheney’s closing thought, as reported, was: “I think people just need to prepare themselves for what he’s going to do, and know there are far more Americans that want our system to succeed than those who want us to fail.” Her comments expressed concern and urged preparation; they should not be read as an established forecast of events after Election Day.
What is known about the account—and what is not
The available account for the exchange is the Entertainment Weekly report republished by AOL. No official ABC transcript or complete video is established here, so the quotes above are attributed to Cheney as reported by Nolfi rather than presented as independently verified against a recording. The report supports the date, the question, and the quoted remarks, but not a more detailed reconstruction of the segment.

PBS also published a transcript of To the Contrary: Trump’s Final Push; Liz Cheney, a different program with a separate panel discussion about whether Trump would accept defeat. It is not a transcript of Cheney’s The View appearance. A panel participant’s comment in that PBS discussion should not be attributed to Cheney or substituted for her reported remarks on ABC.
