Liz Cheney Backs Kamala Harris, Citing Trump’s ‘Assault on Democracy’
In a surprising political move, former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, citing her deep concerns over Donald Trump’s continued “assault on democracy.” Cheney, a vocal critic of Trump, emphasized that her endorsement is not about party lines but about protecting democratic values in the face of increasing threats.
Cheney’s endorsement of Harris marks a significant break from her own party, particularly given her conservative background and her family’s deep Republican roots. However, Cheney has made it clear that her focus is on the future of the country and its democratic institutions, which she believes are at risk under Trump’s influence.
During her announcement, Cheney stated, “This is about ensuring that we uphold the Constitution and maintain the rule of law. Kamala Harris has consistently demonstrated her commitment to these principles, and that’s what matters right now.”
The endorsement has sparked a mix of reactions across the political spectrum, with some conservatives expressing shock at Cheney’s decision, while progressives welcome her support. As the political landscape continues to shift, Cheney’s backing of Harris underscores the growing divide within the Republican Party over Trump’s role in the future of U.S. politics.
