Cheney, who has broken with the GOP over its support for Trump, made headlines by endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, for the upcoming election. She called on Republicans to actively vote for Harris rather than merely writing in alternative candidates. Cheney’s endorsement, alongside her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, represents a significant move by high-profile Republicans against Trump.
Cheney’s endorsement of Harris is based not just on her opposition to Trump but also on a perceived shift in Harris’s policy positions towards the center and a focus on themes of patriotism, which Cheney argued align with conservative values. She cited a speech by Harris at the Democratic Convention as an example, saying it could have been given by past Republican presidents like Ronald Reagan or George Bush.
