Cheney’s Call to Republicans: Liz Cheney urged her fellow Republicans to reconsider their support for Trump, saying, “Donald Trump doesn’t stand for the principles of Ronald Reagan,” and warned about the dangers of Trump’s policies. She emphasized that Trump’s approach is a rejection of traditional Republican values and the constitutional order that the U.S. depends on.
Concerns Over Trump’s Policies: Cheney criticized Trump’s economic policies, particularly his global tariff approach, warning that it could lead the country into a depression. She stressed that Trump’s positions are not conservative and don’t reflect Republican ideals.
Still a Conservative, Not a Trump Republican: When asked if she’s still a Republican, Cheney responded, “I’m a conservative,” but distanced herself from Trump’s version of the Republican Party, which she called “indefensible.” She hopes to help rebuild the party after this election cycle.
Endorsement of Harris: Cheney admitted to speaking with Harris before making her endorsement but didn’t provide details.

Private Voting Decision: Cheney acknowledged that voting is a private matter but encouraged more Republicans to reflect on their values and make the right choice at the ballot box.
Criticism of Nikki Haley and JD Vance: Cheney expressed disbelief over Nikki Haley’s support for Trump after running against him, and criticized JD Vance for refusing to certify the 2020 election results.

Sanders argued that prominent Republicans continue to support Trump and dismissed Cheney’s influence, stating, “You don’t get to call yourself a conservative when you support the most radical Democrat nominee.”
