Walz argues Cheney endorsements give voters 'a reason to do the right thing'

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has defended the Harris campaign accepting endorsements from former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), as it helps them try to win over uncommitted voters.

Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, explained that the Harris campaign has “a big tent” of endorsements, ranging from the Cheneys, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and musician Taylor Swift. This comment prompted Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host Jon Stewart to jokingly ask, “What country did Taylor Swift get us to invade,” a reference to the former vice president’s longtime support for the Bush administration’s war in Iraq.
