Kamala Harris thanks the support of the Republican figure Dick Cheney and her daughter
The US vice president and Democratic candidate for the White House, Kamala Harris, thanked this Saturday for the support given to her by former US Vice President Dick Cheney, a prominent figure of the Republican Party, and his daughter, Liz, one of the most critical voices of former President Donald Trump from the right.
“I feel honored to have his support (that of Dick and Liz Cheney),” Harris told reporters during a visit he made to a spice shop in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania), where he is campaigning.
The US vice president added that the Cheneys’ public statement is “a brave step forward” and that it is time to turn the page on the division and unite our country.
The father and daughter duo have become the most critical figures against Trump since the Republican bloc, turning them into a target of criticism by voters and legislators on the rightmost wing of the party.
“People are tired of division and attempts to divide us as Americans,” Harris said on his visit to the Penzeys Spices store in Pittsburgh, before preparations for the presidential debate with the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, which will take place next Tuesday.
Harris focused on the debate with Trump
Harris suggested that his main objective in next week’s debate with Trump will be to communicate to voters that it is “time to turn the page on division.”
Asked if she is ready for the first presidential debate, Harris replied: “Yes, I am. Yes.”
On her visit to the store, the vice president greeted about a dozen customers, with whom she exchanged a few words and took a tour of the facility guided by one of the employees.
For his part, former President Trump (2017-2021) traveled this Saturday to the key state of Wisconsin where he planned to hold a rally focused, largely, on the economy this afternoon.
Dick Cheney confirmed this Friday that he will vote for Harris because her rival, former President Trump, “tried to steal the last elections.”
“He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to stay in power after the voters rejected him. Power can never be trusted again,” the politician, who was number two in George W.’s Administration, said in a statement. Bush (2001-2009).
Liz Cheney supports Harris for protecting American democracy
Cheney confirms what has been advanced by his daughter, former legislator Liz Cheney, with whom he forms one of the most critical blocs against Trump within the conservative side, and becomes one of the highest-profile Republicans to defend the Democratic candidate.
As for Liz Cheney, the politician, who was a legislator in the Lower House for almost a decade, explained that her decision to support Harris is not “political” but is driven by an obligation to protect US democracy.
“Those of us who believe in democracy and in the defense of the Constitution and the survival of our republic have the duty in these elections to put our differences aside,” said Cheney, a native of the northern state of Wyoming, during a conversation in Austin (Texas).

Biden to attend Trump’s inauguration in January
US President Joe Biden will attend the inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump in January, the White House announced on Monday, despite the fact that the Republican did not attend Biden’s inauguration four years ago.
“The president promised that he would attend the inauguration of whoever won the election. He and the First Lady will keep that promise and attend,” said spokesperson Andrew Bates to reporters traveling with Biden on Air Force One.
“He sees it as an important demonstration of commitment to our democratic values and to honoring the will of the people, while we continue to ensure a smooth and effective transition,” Bates added.
Despite describing Trump as a threat to democracy during the election campaign, Biden seeks to facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to the Republican that Trump denied him.
Biden invited the president-elect to the White House just days after the November 5 election, in which Trump defeated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 82-year-old Democrat dropped out of the presidential race for a second term in July and supported Harris after her disastrous performance in a televised debate led Democrats to question her fitness for the office due to concerns over her health and mental agility.

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Donald Trump on Tuesday that new tariffs will not stop irregular migration or drug consumption in the United States, following the elected president’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Mexican imports.
“President Trump, it is not with threats or tariffs that the migratory phenomenon or drug consumption in the United States will be stopped,” said the left-wing president while reading a letter she plans to send to the elected president. She also proposed initiating a dialogue.

Iran’s Khamenei calls ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu insufficient
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, described the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes as “insufficient” and stated that the prime minister deserves a “death sentence.”
The court, based in The Hague, issued arrest warrants on Thursday against Netanyahu, his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas’s military leader Mohammed Deif for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In his first speech since the court issued the arrest orders, Khamenei called the arrest warrant against Netanyahu “insufficient.” He further stated, “These criminal leaders must be sentenced to death,” referring to Netanyahu and Gallant, while addressing a group of Basij volunteers, an Islamist militia that can act as a replacement for security forces.
