Kamala Harris Receives Courageous Endorsements from Cheney Duo

In a bold political move, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris praised the endorsements from Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz, calling their decision 'courageous' for prioritizing the country over political allegiance.

Harris, who is rigorously preparing for the critical September 10 debate against her Republican counterpart Donald Trump, expressed her gratitude during a visit to Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh's Strip District. She emphasized the importance of their statement that patriotism should transcend party lines.

On Friday, Dick Cheney, a vice president under George W. Bush, condemned Trump as the greatest threat to the republic in the nation's history. Liz Cheney echoed these sentiments earlier, committing her vote to Harris and labeling Trump a 'danger.' In response, Trump dismissed the Cheneys as 'irrelevant RINOs' in a social media post.
