Senator Bernie Sanders has praised former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney for their decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, calling it an act of 'courage' in defense of democracy. Both Cheneys crossed party lines to vote for Harris, with Dick Cheney stating that citizens must prioritize the Constitution over partisanship, while Liz Cheney criticized Trump for his willingness to use violence for power. Sanders acknowledged their differing views but emphasized the importance of maintaining democratic foundations amidst the current political climate. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, however, condemned the Democrats for suddenly embracing the Cheneys, whom they previously criticized for years, labeling them as 'Darth Cheney' and a 'genocidal war criminal.' Trump also mocked the Cheneys, dismissing their relevance and ridiculing Liz Cheney's political defeat. The situation illustrates a growing divide within the Republican Party as some members reject Trump's influence and support Harris instead.
