Cheney appears to be leaning No in another interview:

“I am not, Bret,” Cheney told Baier, responding to his question about whether she is vying for the 2024 nomination. “What I think is really important is that we make sure that the former president, because we know what he is capable of … and because we know how important it is for us to be able to advance Republican ideals, that we make sure that he never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.”

I think that’s a mischaracterization.  Here is the interview in question:

At about the 9:27 mark, Baier asks her “Are you running for president?”, and her answer is “I am not, Bret.”

But of course “Are you…?” is present tense. 

Hence why I said "leaning No". A candidate who was leaning towards running could certainly say something different like "I'm considering all options", or "who knows? Maybe I will?", rather than simply "I'm not."
