Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a conservative, and progressive icon Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are both voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, a dynamic that highlights the deep divide within the Republican Party led by former President Donald Trump. Members of the Republican political establishment like Cheney, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, and former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, have expressed opposition to Trump and are supporting Harris. This rift is fueled by differences in policy and personality, with many prominent Republicans criticizing Trump for his actions, including his sympathy for the January 6th insurrection and disregard for democratic norms. Additionally, Trump’s departure from traditional Republican policies on issues like free trade and international alliances has alienated some party members. Cheney’s decision to support Harris has drawn ridicule from some Republicans, who question how conservatives can endorse a democratic candidate. Despite the backlash, Trump maintains the support of the majority of Republican voters. The situation reflects a broader shift in the Republican Party and highlights the ongoing tension between Trump loyalists and party traditionalists like Cheney, Romney, and the Bush family.
