Liz Cheney, the daughter of former U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney, quit the run for a senate seat citing health problems.
“Serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, I have decided to discontinue my campaign. My children and their futures were the motivation for our campaign and their health and well-being will always be my overriding priority,” Cheney said in the statement.
