J.D. Vance<\/a> (R-OH), Republican vice presidential nominee, agreed with a comment on X that said former Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/liz-cheney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Liz Cheney<\/a> (R-WY) could take a prominent position in Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> Cabinet as secretary of defense or state.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, recently endorsed Harris, and the younger Cheney has campaigned with the vice president.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This had never occurred to me, but he&rsquo;s exactly right,&rdquo; Vance told Breaking Points. &ldquo;What&rsquo;s even more dangerous? Cheney would have political cover from the left.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you want the most unhinged member of the Cheney family declaring new wars every other month, vote for Kamala. Vote Trump for peace!&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Liz Cheney would fit the mold Harris previously set when she said she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet. Vance pointed out that Liz Cheney could earn a similar reputation to her father if appointed to a high-profile defense position in Harris&rsquo;s Cabinet. Dick Cheney has been smeared for pushing the Iraq War, a costly and casualty-ridden war for the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Liz Cheney was previously asked if Harris&rsquo;s campaign had contacted her about a Cabinet position, but she said she hadn&rsquo;t spoken to them.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I have not,&rdquo; Liz Cheney said in mid-September. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m very focused on Nov. 5, and I&rsquo;m making sure that we elect good candidates like Colin Allred.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, Harris might be hesitant about awarding Liz Cheney a Cabinet position. The vice president received considerable backlash from Muslim organizations over her involvement with Liz Cheney at an Oct. 3 campaign event.<\/p>\n<p>The American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/muslim-voters-kamala-harris-liz-cheney-1963711\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>called<\/a> Liz Cheney an &ldquo;anti-Muslim bigot and torture defender&rdquo; and said the joint event could damage Harris with minority voters.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Vice President Harris should have never hosted a campaign event alongside Liz Cheney, an anti-Muslim bigot and far-right war hawk who continues to openly endorse the crime of torture, including waterboarding,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-to-show-lockdowns-are-killing-more-people-than-the-virus\/\" title=\"How To Show Lockdowns Are Killing More People Than The Virus\">task force<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has already been slipping away from former President Donald Trump in Michigan, where he has taken the lead in <em>RealClearPolitics<\/em>&lsquo;s polling average. Michigan has the largest chunk of Muslim voters in any state, so further involvement with Liz Cheney could further hurt Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Liz Cheney also has a history of criticizing Harris and President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She slammed Biden for choosing Harris as his vice president in 2020, calling her a &ldquo;radical liberal.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>However, despite her past misgivings with Harris, Liz Cheney has backed the vice president over Trump, whom she has criticized much more and voted to impeach during her time as a House member.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1802898\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1802898\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vance proposes Harris consider Cheney for a Cabinet role<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2353337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/AP24277828500614.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[3726,4021,15469],"class_list":["post-2353336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-cheney","tag-harris","tag-vance"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/AP24277828500614.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353336","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\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2353336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2353337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2353336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2353336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2353336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
