“I don’t think there’s any room to write in the candidate’s name, especially in battleground states,” Cheney said at Duke University. video It cycles through X.

“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and values ​​the Constitution, I’ve thought deeply about this,” she added. “Because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only will I not be voting for Donald Trump, I will be voting for Kamala Harris.”

Cheney was one of two Republicans, along with former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, and voted to impeach President Trump in 2021 following the riot.

While she has been sounding the alarm for years about the potential impact of a second term for Trump, her comments this week marked her first public endorsement of Harris.
