Former Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a one-time rising GOP star who became a top Republican critic of former President Trump, says she'll vote for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a one-time rising Republican Party star who became a top GOP critic of former President Trump, says she'll vote for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. 'I don’t believe we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states,' Cheney said Wednesday at a speaking event at Duke University in North Carolina.
But she was the most high-profile of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-president Trump in early 2021 on a charge of inciting the deadly attack Jan. 6 on the Capitol, which was waged by right-wing extremists and other Trump supporters who aimed to disrupt congressional certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory in the 2020 election.
In 2022, she was ousted in the GOP congressional primary in Wyoming to a candidate that was backed by Trump. Cheney — who has argued that the former president is a 'liar,' a 'con man' and a potential 'tyrant' who, if elected again, would 'torch the Constitution' — vowed after leaving Congress that 'I will do everything I can to make sure is never anywhere near the Oval Office again.
