Liz Chaney Once she said expressed regret voting for Donald Trump In 2020. But she stepped up her criticism of the league on Sunday, calling Trump a “corrupt” man who threatens to plunge the US into chaos.
“The Republicans nominated somebody who is, you know, disadvantaged,” the former Arkansas congresswoman told ABC’s Jonathan Carl on Sunday. this week. “Someone who shows us every day that, you know, he has tendencies and is willing to accept things that are fundamentally dangerous to this nation and our constitution.”
Cheney support Kamala Harris Wednesday during an appearance at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy on the “threat of Donald Trump.” She announced the support of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, for Harris on Friday.
In her Sunday interview, Cheney — who said she has never voted for a Democrat — said she supported Harris. She also lashed out at Republicans who have said they would nominate an alternative candidate rather than vote for Trump.
“It’s not enough,” Cheney said. “It’s important for Vice President Harris to actually vote.”
Carl Cheney pressed on Harris’ past adoption of Medicare for All and the abolition of immigration and customs enforcement, the vice president has sought to moderate in recent weeks to tone down the appearance of progressivism. “Would you still support Kamala Harris if it was the Kamala Harris of 2019 and 2020?” Carl asked.
Cheney said she thinks Harris has changed his position on some issues “in a very significant way” and argued that the electoral stakes outweigh any policy differences.
“I would encourage independents to compare where he is today to Donald Trump on these issues,” Cheney said. “I think it’s very important, from a policy perspective, to recognize the change, to recognize that she understands that she needs a coalition of people across the political spectrum who support her in this election.”
“The choice, in my view, is not close,” Cheney added.
