Ex-Rep. Liz Cheney endorses Kamala Harris citing 'danger that Trump poses'
New audio shows former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris for president, citing the "danger" posed by former President Donald Trump and saying the country doesn't have the "luxury" to write in a third candidate.
Cheney, who is the daughter of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, made the endorsement at a Duke University public policy event, audio posted Wednesday evening on X.
"Because we are in North Carolina I think it is crucially important for people to recognize not only is what I just said about the danger that 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 told an auditorium. "As a conservative and someone who believes and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and 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."
