Liz Cheney's coalition with Vice President Kamala Harris failed to win enough votes in the battleground state suburbs to overcome President-elect Donald Trump's rise.
The failure of the alliance suggests a failure by the Harris campaign to use Cheney as a proxy to attract Republicans. Failure of this strategy is likely to cause internal conflict within the Democratic Party.
Attention — JD Vance: Liz Cheney is “an embittered, small-minded, little person”:
Mr. Cheney allied with Democrats on the partisan Jan. 6 committee and campaigned extensively with Ms. Harris in suburban Rust Belt states. Cheney spent every campaign campaign denouncing President Trump as a threat to democracy, a rhetoric that voters rejected on Election Day.
“If you're at all concerned, just vote your conscience and don't tell anyone. There will be millions of Republicans voting for Vice President Harris on November 5th,” Cheney said. he said. said Michigan voters describe President Trump as “unstable” and untrustworthy.
Democrat Dan Turrentine, co-host of “The Morning Meeting,” expressed concern that Democrats would start blaming the strategy for failure. “What I'm really most interested in right now is where are the Democrats going?” he asked. “Some say the party wasn't like that, that Harris was howling in the suburbs with Liz Cheney and talking to Haley Republicans, not talking to the progressive base or the likes of RFK. Bernie Sanders, a progressive wing of the Deaf party, eventually joined the Trump campaign. ”
“Now, how do we get them back?'' he said. asked a question.
Cheney recognized Trump won on Wednesday by calling on his Democratic allies to accept the election results.
Our democratic system worked last night, and we have a new president-elect. All Americans are obligated to accept the results of the election, whether they like the results or not. As citizens of the greatest country on earth, we have a special responsibility to uphold and defend our Constitution, uphold the rule of law, and do everything we can to preserve our nation's institutions over the next four years. is owed. The people of this country, our courts, our press, and our federal, state, and local employees must now become the guardrails of our democracy.
