WASHINGTON: Liz Cheney and Kamala Harris, positioned at the same far ends of the US political range, could not be more unlike each other. The past, a light, purebred, establishment Democratic person from one of the pinkest states in America, Wyoming, the latter, a brown-black daughter of extreme immigrants from the largest melting pot in the USA– California.
They lit into Donald Trump and his MAGA action on Thursday, creating one of the most dramatic events in the national elections, united by what they claimed was their shared passion for the state and the law.
With a banner reading” Country Over Party”, Cheney, a rock solid conservative and daughter of former vice-president Dick Cheney pitched for the true blue liberal presidential candidate, saying,” In this election, putting patriotism ahead of politics is not an aspiration. It is our duty”. People of all parties must unite in opposition to those who would harm our magnificent study ( the United States ), Harris retorted.
The event took place in Ripon, the origin of the Republican Party in Wisconsin, a battle state where even a few thousand vote had subject. It has the potential to change elections in the US after the November elections. It occurred shortly after a new court filing by a Biden-appointed Special Counsel was made public, which in result implicated Trump in trying to steal the 2020 elections despite knowing he had lost, leading to an attack on the US Capitol by a MAGA crowd that Trump views as “patriots”.
” January 6 shows us that Donald Trump lacks not an iota of compassion,” he said. He is little, he is malicious, and he is violent, and not healthy to guide this good and great society”, Cheney said in a reminder of the event that has almost split the Grand Old Party.
Trump and his MAGA groups view Mitt Romney, a former presidential candidate, and Cheney as creation leaders who are out of contact with the public. Cheney was one of the highest ranking Republicans in Congress before she was “primaried”– ousted and defeated in inner-party elections for opposing Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 elections.
The MAGA supremo taunted Cheney, who claimed that she was a Republican “even before Donald Trump started spray-tanning,” and that her father, Dick Cheney, was “leader of our ridiculous journey into the Middle East, where Trillions of Dollars were spent, millions of people were killed- and for what? NOTHING”!
While the optics of Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala is striking, the outcome in electoral terms is unclear. Pollsters are particularly concerned about whether there will be a demographic shift toward Harris among white women.
In addition, former President Barack Obama will start campaigning the following week, giving the Harris campaign a boost. Although former presidents like George Bush and Bill Clinton typically avoid active campaigning, the Harris-Obama equation is unique because she was one of his first supporters for the White House in 2008 when few people gave him a chance. He’s giving her back with efforts that few former Presidents put forth.
