Impact of Liz Cheney's Stance
Liz Cheney's declaration of never having voted for a Democrat raises significant questions about party loyalty and tribalism within conservatism. Cheney's shift to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris illustrates a growing divide among Republicans in response to Donald Trump's influence. This transition is not isolated, as over a hundred former Republican officials also endorse Harris, emphasizing a broader concern regarding Trump's fitness for office.
