Walz, who serves as Harris&#8217;s running mate, argued that these endorsements might help <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">engage undecided voters due<\/a> to their broad appeal. He \u200dhighlighted the diverse array of\u200c endorsements Harris has acquired, including those\u2063 from Sen.\u2063 Bernie Sanders\u200c and musician Taylor \u200dSwift, and suggested\u200b that \u200bthe Cheneys could legitimize a more centrist approach among conservative voters.<\/p>\n<p>During an \u2063appearance\u200b on &#8220;The\u200c Daily Show,&#8221; Walz emphasized that accepting endorsement does not equate\u200b to adopting the \u2062endorsers&#8217; positions, particularly\u200d regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">foreign policy<\/a>, which remains a sensitive subject \u2063given\u2062 Cheney&#8217;s controversial past. As the election approaches, \u200dboth Harris and Donald Trump are\u2063 intensifying their efforts \u2062to connect\u2064 with voters, \u200bwith Harris participating\u2063 in events alongside Liz Cheney, aiming to\u2064 move beyond the\u2064 contentious\u2064 events of the past decade. Walz also reflected on his achievements\u2062 as governor, particularly in expanding free meals for children, advocating for preventive investment in education over incarceration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Walz argues Cheney endorsements give voters &lsquo;a reason to do the right thing&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1841875\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-walz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Tim Walz<\/a> (D-MN) has defended the Harris campaign accepting endorsements from former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dick-cheney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Dick Cheney<\/a> and his daughter, former Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/liz-cheney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Liz Cheney<\/a> (R-WY), as it helps them try to win over uncommitted voters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Walz, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> running mate, explained that the Harris campaign has &ldquo;a big tent&rdquo; of endorsements, ranging from the Cheneys, Sen.
