Liz Cheney praises Kamala Harris for Dem convention 'speech that Ronald Reagan could have given'
Cheney, a Wyoming Republican and rival of former President Donald Trump , commended Harris’ address to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month as she explained why she defended her decision to vote against the GOP nominee this year.
The Cheney scion juxtaposed Harris’ performance sharply with Trump, whom she blasted for “trash-talking” the US as “a failing nation” and “a laughing stock.” “The trash-talking of the United States of America very much is part of the message that Donald Trump is pushing, and so at the end of the day, I think it’s important for people to recognize he’s not a conservative,” Cheney stressed.The 58-year-old professor at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, had previously panned Harris prior to the 2024 election cycle. Following her endorsement of Harris last week, critics unearth some of those criticisms.
“When it comes to fundamental alliances, when it comes to the importance of NATO, for example, and how important it is for the United States to lead in the world, we’ve seen a sea change. We now have a Republican Party that is embracing isolationism, that is embracing Putin,” she added.Harris has softened her stance on issues such as Medicare for all, the Green New Deal, a ban on franking, a ban on plastic straws, and more, the former representative said.
The vice president has boasted about the Republican support she racked up and has indicated that she’d put someone from the GOP in her Cabinet if she wins the Nov. 5 election.Cheney explained that she spoke to Harris “in the process” of making her endorsement, without providing additional details. She also hearkened back to her first vote in 1984 — for former President Ronald Reagan.
