In a significant development ahead of the 2024 presidential election, former Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Cheney, known for her vocal criticism of former President Donald Trump, made the announcement at an event at Duke University.
During the event, Cheney stated that she would be voting for Harris because of the “danger” that Trump poses to the Constitution. She emphasized her belief that Trump’s actions surrounding the January 6th Capitol insurrection demonstrate his unfitness for the presidency. Cheney’s endorsement follows her consistent criticism of Trump, whom she has repeatedly described as a threat to the Republic.
Cheney joins other anti-Trump Republicans, including former Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, in supporting Harris. This growing coalition of Republicans opposing Trump adds another layer of complexity to the upcoming election.
The endorsement comes as Harris appears to be gaining traction in key swing states. Recent polls suggest that she is leading Trump in some crucial regions, potentially setting the stage for a close race.
Cheney’s decision to endorse Harris highlights the deep divisions within the Republican Party and underscores the importance of the upcoming election. It remains to be seen what impact this endorsement will have on the race, but it is sure to be a key talking point in the months leading up to November 2024.
