Liz Cheney won't commit to voting for Joe Biden in 'View' appearance, but will 'never' vote for Trump

Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney joined the hosts of ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday and refused to commit to voting for President Biden in 2024, but said she would never vote for Donald Trump. 

The hosts of “The View” asked Cheney twice if she would vote for Biden in 2024 over Trump, if he ends up being the Republican nominee

“Nobody has voted yet, so we don’t know for sure who the nominees are going to be on each side,” Cheney said.

She also argued that the Republican Party was not likely to survive and there would be “a huge tectonic shift in our politics.” Co-host Joy Behar asked Cheney again who she would vote for in 2024 if it were Biden v. Trump, which polls show is currently the most likely matchup in November.

“Let me ask you a radical question, because I know you’re a patriotic American… Would you vote for Biden?” Behar asked.

“I’m not going to endorse anybody today,” Cheney said. “And I think that, again, we don’t know exactly what the choice will be. I’d say that I will never vote for Donald Trump. There are some conservatives who are trying to make this claim that somehow Biden is a bigger risk than Trump. My view is, I disagree with a lot of Joe Biden’s policies. We can survive bad policies. We cannot survive torching the Constitution.”

Behar agreed and said Biden was not “crazy.” 

Cheney released a memoir titled “Oath & Honor” focused on the former president and the “threat posed by his efforts to overturn the election” of 2020. The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, she was an ally of Trump’s at times when he was in office and ascended to chair of the House Republican Conference, but she vehemently opposed his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. She further angered Republicans when she joined the Jan. 6 House Select Committee that investigated the events surrounding the 2021 Capitol riot. 

As a result, she was defeated in a landslide in her GOP primary race for Wyoming’s at-large congressional seat in 2022.

LIZ CHENEY ADDRESSES CRITICISMS OF HER CRITIQUES OF TRUMP AND BIDEN

The anti-Trump Republican delivered a speech in New Hampshire on Friday and called on voters to reject the “plague of cowardice” within the GOP.

“Speak for us all. Tell the world who we are with your vote. Tell them that we are a good and a great nation,” she added. “But make sure they know that we do not bend, we do not break and we do not yield in the defense of our freedom. Show the world that we will defeat the plague of cowardice sweeping through the Republican Party.”

Cheney also told the hosts of “The View” that politicians must continue to talk about democracy, even if Americans are tired of the democracy message.

“We have to make sure people understand, especially independents, that if — when you get down to if it ends up being a choice, if he ends up as the Republican nominee, independents cannot say to themselves, ‘You know what, I don’t like a bunch of things about him but I’m going to go ahead and vote for him.’ We cannot take that risk, because we know what he’s done. He attempted to seize power, and he’s continuing every single day to make threats of political violence, he’s been absolutely clear he will not have around him again the people who stopped the very worst,” she said.

Philadelphia voters say Fetterman's health won't impact their vote, citing Biden's age and health

Philadelphia voters shared whether they were concerned about Lt. Gov. John Letterman’s health if elected to the Senate and if it would impact their vote in the midterm elections, with some citing President Biden’s health as reassurance. 

“He might not be healthy mentally, but he seems healthy,” Devon, from Philadelphia, said. 

“Look at Joe Biden. He’s an older guy,” he continued. “You know he has his health problems, and he’s still able to run the country.”

But Kevin, living in Philadelphia, said he’s concerned about Fetterman’s health and lack of campaign engagement. 

MEDIA PUTS MORE EMPHASIS ON FETTERMAN’S HEALTH AS PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION HEATS UP

“You can’t run for office telling people you’re okay if you’re not okay,” Kevin said. “If something shows up he should be providing some kind of documentation that he has a clean bill of health.” 

Fetterman, serving as the 34th Lt. Gov of Pennsylvania, suffered a stroke in May, undergoing surgery on May 17 – the day Pennsylvania voters elected him as the Democratic candidate for Senate. Fetterman returned to the campaign trail in August and recently agreed to debate his opponent, Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, scheduled for Oct. 25. 

“I have no issues with his health all, because I still think he’s able to do his job,” Betty, from Philadelphia, said. She said speech issues are expected after a stroke and mentioned Biden stammers in his speeches.

DR. OZ DOUBLES DOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA SENATE FIGHT, SAYS FETTERMAN IS SCARED TO DEBATE OR LYING ABOUT HEALTH

Loreal, living in Philadelphia, said she has been less concerned about Fetterman’s health than Biden’s and older leaders.

Joe Biden became the oldest president ever elected to office when he won in 2020, and will be 80 in November. Some Congressional leaders within the legislative branch are even older, including Senator Dianne Feinstein at 88, whose been reported to show signs of memory loss. 

“We’ve had older people who’ve had other serious health concerns that have certainly been ones to be concerned about, but they’re doing just fine,” Loreal said.

In the 2020 presidential election, Philadelphia, a strongly left-leaning city, was crucial to Joe Biden winning Pennsylvania. Yet Fetterman statewide only leads Oz, 52% to 47%, in the Pennsylvania Senate race, according to the latest CBS News poll.

“It looks like he’s recovering,” Will, from Pennsylvania, said. “I’m gonna trust what he’s telling us.”

“Even if it’s gonna take him a little bit of time while he’s in the senate to get it all the way back he’s by far the best option,” he said.
