Cheney Endorses Harris for 2024 Election

In a notable political shift, former Republican Representative Liz Cheney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election, citing concerns about Donald Trump's fitness for office and his actions during the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Cheney, who has never voted for a Democrat before, emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional values and criticized Trump as 'depraved' and 'cruel'. Her endorsement is part of a broader 'Republicans for Harris' campaign aimed at attracting disillusioned GOP members. This campaign has gained support from other prominent Republicans, including former officials from the Trump administration, as they express fears over another Trump presidency. The event in Ripon, Wisconsin, highlighted Harris's efforts to unite voters across party lines by focusing on democratic principles and the peaceful transfer of power. Meanwhile, Trump continues to repeat false claims about the 2020 election, positioning himself in opposition to the coalition forming around Harris.
