Republican Liz Cheney, one of Donald Trump's fiercest critics, lent her support to two Democrats battling for key swing seats in the final days of the US midterm elections.
During separate events in the midwest states of Ohio and Michigan, Cheney expressed support for Democratic candidates as a bulwark against her own party's lurch toward Trump, whom she argues is a threat to democracy.
After refusing to accept Trump's false claims of a stolen 2020 election, she has played a leading role on the congressional committee investigating the former president's role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. With polls now showing Republicans holding strong momentum to take control of at least one chamber of Congress, Cheney is hitting the campaign trail on behalf of several Democratic figures, making it her mission to warn Americans of the dangers of a Trump comeback.
"And we don’t get to have that debate if we elect election deniers who embrace what the former president is doing and saying now, and what we know now that he was willing to do, and what we know that he did."
