Cheney tells Republicans to "vote your conscience" in pitch for Harris in Michigan
-
Former Rep. Liz Cheney urged Republicans and others who may not typically back Democrats to “vote your conscience” during her second swing state stop on Monday with Vice President Kamala Harris.
At a town hall in Oakland County, Michigan, Harris said she’s seen “a lot” of Republicans go up to Cheney and thank her, though “they may not be doing it publicly.” The vice president praised Cheney for showing “extraordinary courage” since January 6.
“There’s something, an undercurrent that is violent in terms of the language and the tenor, and for her to show the courage she has shown is extraordinary,” she said.
Cheney said it “wasn’t scary at all” for her to decide to publicly endorse Harris and speak out against Trump because the former president is “doing everything he can to try to get people to forget about what he did” on January 6.
