Liz Cheney stands at a podium in the cartoon, holding a marker aloft while two speech bubbles convey her message. One bubble states she may have lost the battle. The other asserts she has not lost the war. The podium bears her name with the year altered from 2022 to 2024.

The image addresses Cheney's defeat in the Wyoming Republican primary held on August 16, 2022. She lost to Harriet Hageman by a wide margin after serving as the state's lone House member since 2017. Cheney had become a prominent Trump critic and member of the House January 6 committee.

The cartoon uses the classic battle versus war phrasing to highlight Cheney's public statements about future plans. It reflects the ongoing tension within the Republican Party between Trump loyalists and critics following the 2020 election. The visual emphasizes her determination to stay in the political arena despite the setback.
