Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney recently urged anti-Trump Republicans and independents to consider voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Cheney emphasized that simply writing in another candidate instead of Trump is not enough given the stakes of the race. She highlighted Trump’s threat to the republic and expressed that it is crucial to ensure he is not reelected.
Cheney pointed to Harris’ speech at the Democratic National Convention, noting her love for America and the need to work together to maintain the country’s greatness. She criticized Trump’s negative portrayal of America and his policies, stating that he is not a true conservative.
Cheney’s decision to endorse Harris has generated mixed reactions within the Republican Party, with some like Sen. Tom Cotton dismissing the impact of endorsements on the election. Former Vice President Dick Cheney also announced his support for Harris, citing Trump’s untrustworthiness and baseless election claims.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has not endorsed Harris, commended the Cheneys for their endorsement, highlighting the importance of defending democracy against Trump’s actions. He noted that while he and the Cheneys may disagree on many issues, they share a commitment to preserving democratic principles. Sanders also defended Harris against accusations of abandoning her progressive values, describing her approach as pragmatic in order to win the election.
