Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney Endorses Kamala Harris For President

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) announced Wednesday she planned to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in November, warning that Donald Trump posed an existential danger to the country.

“It is crucially important for people to recognize, not only is what I said about the danger Trump poses something that should prevent people from voting for him, but I don’t believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names ― particularly in swing states,” Cheney said at an event at Duke University, in the battleground state of North Carolina.

“As a conservative, as someone who cares deeply about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I am voting for Kamala Harris,” she added, eliciting applause and cheers from the students in the audience.
