I wasn't surprised by the prediction " Cheney is campaigning energetically for Harris to defeat Trump " but I was struck that the former vice chair of the Jan. 6 House select committee did not primarily argue that threats to democracy would lift Harris to victory. Rather, she said that in her conversations with independent and undecided voters, what is really moving them into Harris's corner was "what a second Trump term would mean for the women of this country." She specifically cited the draconian Republican bans and limits on reproductive health care and other medical needs that have led to traumatic and disabling injuries for pregnant women in Texas and other states with bans in place.
