Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/01\/tremendous-leader-liz-cheney-endorses-pelosi-for-another-term-as-house-speaker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rolled out<\/a> a series of endorsements in Cleveland on Tuesday, but if we\u2019ve learned anything about what happens to the disgraced lame duck\u2019s allies, those candidates should prepare for defeat on Election Day. Cheney has a habit of not only praising all the wrong people but also aligning herself with politicians that voters can\u2019t abide.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of a one-on-one interview with PBS\u2019s Judy Woodruff, Cheney endorsed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats for another two-year term in the majority. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to say a word about Speaker Pelosi,\u201d Cheney\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TNAmmxORwhY&#038;t=332s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>\u00a0at the Cleveland City Club. \u201cThere are many, many issues, maybe most issues, on which we disagree. But I think that she is a tremendous leader. I\u2019ve watched her up close. She is a leader of historic consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the interview, Woodruff asked Cheney whether Republicans should even reclaim the majority in the lower chamber. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople just need to understand what it will mean to have a Republican majority in the House of Representatives,\u201d Cheney said. \u201cThe people who will be running the House of Representatives in a Republican majority will give authority and power to some of the most radical members of Congress, and I don\u2019t think that that\u2019s good for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before Woodruff could get a follow-up question in to clarify Cheney\u2019s remarks, the Wyoming congresswoman cut her off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019ll leave it the way I said it,\u201d Cheney said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe heard you,\u201d Woodruff responded.<\/p>\n<p>In the same hour, Cheney took her cheerleading for Democrats beyond the House to the partisan Senate contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would not vote for J.D. Vance,\u201d she said, talking about the Republican venture capitalist vying for the vacant Senate seat left open by Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who chose not to seek a third term. Cheney said she would instead vote for Cleveland-area Rep. Tim Ryan, the Democrat running in the bitter toss-up race, if she lived in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s stamp of approval, however, is no more likely to help Ryan, Pelosi, and House Democrats than it has the Republicans who have stood by her. Out of the nine other Republicans who joined her in the Democrats\u2019 crusade to impeach President Donald Trump last year,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/with-cheneys-loss-just-2-house-republicans-who-voted-to-impeach-trump-are-on-the-ballot-in-november\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just two<\/a>\u00a0remain on the ballot next week. The rest either lost primaries to a Trump-endorsed opponent or abandoned reelection altogether, including Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/16\/wyoming-republicans-throw-liz-cheney-out-of-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lost<\/a>\u00a0her own primary by a wider margin than any other to Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman, who carried the race by more than 37 points. Had Cheney not successfully courted Wyoming\u2019s Democrat voters, her already overwhelming loss would have likely been by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/18\/analysis-if-not-for-democrat-voters-cheneys-loss-would-have-been-even-more-devastating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">far larger margins<\/a>. Cheney says now she won\u2019t vote for Hageman in the general, but the candidate is slated to win over voters in the deep-red state a second time next week.<\/p>\n<p>House Democrats, on the other hand, have been <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/campaign\/3712202-how-the-impending-red-wave-could-become-a-tsunami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">forecast <\/a>by some to lose as many as 35 seats, with Pelosi already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/pelosi-seeks-ambassadorship-italy-if-gop-wins-house-majority-midterms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plotting <\/a>her exit strategy to become the Italian ambassador.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liz Cheney&#8217;s stamp of approval has failed to bring close allies across the finish line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":494,"featured_media":1720770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1720767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1720767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1720767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1720767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1720770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1720767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1720767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1720767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
