The Facts

  • On Thursday, former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney formally endorsed Vice Pres. Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin — known as the birthplace of the Republican Party.

  • Cheney, who lost her Wyoming seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate two years ago, said of Harris: "I know that she loves our country, and I know she will be a president for all Americans."


The Spin

Democratic narrative

Cheney's support for Harris demonstrates a principled stand against the threat Trump poses to democracy. Her willingness to put country over party exemplifies true patriotism and should inspire other conservatives to follow suit. This bipartisan effort is crucial for preserving American democratic institutions.

Republican narrative

Cheney's endorsement of Harris is a betrayal of conservative values and the Republican Party. Her actions only serve to divide the GOP and weaken its chances of victory in crucial swing states. True conservatives should remain united behind Trump to protect traditional American values and policies.
