Liz Cheney on ABC: "I've been voting for 40 years. My first vote was for Ronald Reagan in 1984. I've never voted for a Democrat. It tells you the stakes in this election. Donald Trump presents a challenge and threat fundamentally to the republic. We see it on a daily basis. Somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power ... we have to do everything possible to ensure he's not reelected. Given how close this race is, in my view it's not enough -- you have many Republicans out there who are saying, 'Well, we're not gonna vote for him but we'll write someone else in' -- I think this time around that's not enough, that it's important to actually cast a vote for Vice President Harris." Liz Cheney: "I have never viewed this as a policy election ... Trump is not a conservative."
