Liz Cheney (R-WY) endorsed<\/a> Democrat incumbent Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) over GOP challenger Yesli Vega in her bid for reelection in Virginia\u2019s 7th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s endorsement said in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t agree on every policy, but I am absolutely certain that Abigail is dedicated to serving this country and her constituents and defending our Constitution. Abigail\u2019s opponent is promoting conspiracy theories, denying election outcomes she disagrees with, and defending the indefensible. We need our elected leaders to be honest, serious, and responsible, which is why I would urge voters in Virginia\u2019s 7th District to support Abigail Spanberger.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For those who have been following Cheney and her political views, it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that <a href=\"https:\/\/rvamag.com\/politics\/virginia-politics\/former-cia-agent-abigail-spanberger-is-on-a-mission-for-virginias-7th-district.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanberger is a former CIA agent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement of Spanberger is not Cheney\u2019s first of a Democrat candidate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So Republicans have gained an ally in Tulsi Gabbard and Democrats have gained Liz Cheney.

Vance.<\/p>\n<p>But it seems to be Democrat women that Cheney is all in for. In October, Cheney spoke at a forum at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she praised Slotkin, Spanberger, and Reps. Elaine Luria (D-VA) and Jennifer Wexton (D-VA), both of whom are in competitive races.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cheney described them as <a href=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2022\/10\/right-this-ship-of-democracy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cwomen whom I may have<\/a> big disagreements with on some issues, but man, they are there for the right reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued saying, \u201cThey work hard, and I know that they want what\u2019s best for the country.
