Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican. . . endorsed Democrat Colin Allred in his race to beat Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
Liz Cheney endorsed Harris earlier this week at Duke University. She has been one of Donald Trump's chief critics, calling the former Republican unfit for office since the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Since losing her House seat, Liz Cheney has worked to beat back election denialism in the Republican Party, in some instances supporting Democrats.
One of the most important things we need to do as a country as we begin to rebuild our politics is we need to elect serious people, Liz Cheney said. Here in Texas, you guys do have a tremendous, serious candidate running for U.S. Senate.
The audience erupted in applause cutting Liz Cheney off.
Its not Ted Cruz," she said.

just don't know if Liz Cheney holds much realistic sway anymore. I know her worthless Dad doesn't. Someone mentioned Dumbya...he's worse than Darth Cheney. Those relics were FAILURES when in office and I just don't think anyone gives a shit about them anymore. I know I don't.
