Sep 4, 2024, 10:16 PM

Former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President during a speech at Duke University. Cheney, a Republican and former vice chair of the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot, cited the danger posed by Donald Trump as the primary reason for her endorsement. She emphasized her conservative values and deep consideration of the decision, stating, 'As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris.' Cheney also mentioned the importance of not writing in candidates' names, particularly in swing states. Cheney's endorsement is notable given her past criticisms of Harris and her voting record.
