Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney Endorses Kamala Harris, Citing ‘Danger’ Posed by Trump

In a significant development in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney has crossed party lines to endorse Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Cheney, a vocal critic of Donald Trump and former co-chair of the House investigation into the January 6, 2021 attack, made her announcement during an event at Duke University.Cheney emphasized the ‘danger’ she believes Trump poses to the country, stating, ‘As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this. 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’. She also stressed the importance of not writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states.This endorsement follows similar moves by other Republicans, including former Representatives Adam Kinzinger and Denver Riggleman. Over 200 alumni of the Bush administration and former Republican presidential campaigns have also announced their support for Harris.Meanwhile, the Harris campaign has accepted debate rules proposed by Trump’s team, including the option to mute microphones when the opponent is speaking. However, Harris’s team expressed dissatisfaction with this rule in a letter to ABC News, which will host the debate on September 10, arguing that it would ‘fundamentally disadvantage’ Harris.The race remains competitive, with Harris’s endorsements from prominent Republicans potentially influencing undecided voters. As the campaign intensifies, both candidates continue to face challenges and scrutiny over their policies and debate performances.
