Former Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney encouraged former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley to stay in the presidential primary on the left-wing podcast “Pod Save America” Friday.
“I hope she stays in the race as long as she has to,” Cheney said the day after the New Hampshire contest, urging Haley to compete “through Super Tuesday.”
Trump carried the Granite State primary on Tuesday by 11 points after sweeping the Iowa caucuses last week. On “Pod Save America,” Cheney said she wasn’t making an official endorsement in the race, but trashed former President Donald Trump as an “existential threat” who can’t carry the general election.
“So we need to make sure we’re challenging him and working to defeat him at every step of the way,” Cheney said. “And right now, Nikki Haley is in this fight and I think she ought to stay in it.”
“Are you officially supporting Haley over Trump now that it’s just the two of them left?” Cheney was asked.
“I haven’t made any formal endorsements at this point, but certainly I would never support or vote for Donald Trump again,” Cheney said.
Cheney went on the left-wing program to promote her latest book, “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning,” out in December. The book offers the first-hand tale of the ex-Republican conference chair battling with Trump and his supporters before constituents ousted her from office. Trump, she wrote, was “the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office.”
