Liz Cheney pushes George Bush to endorse Kamala Harris over Trump

Former Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney on Friday urged former President George W. Bush to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, asserting that it was "time" to do so.

Cheney, the daughter of Bush's former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been one of Harris' most prominent Republican supporters this election, and has joined her on the campaign trail. Dick Cheney has also endorsed Harris over former President Donald Trump.

Although Bush has kept his promise not to endorse a presidential candidate so far this year, his daughter Barbara Bush has campaigned for the VP.

“I can’t explain why George W. Bush hasn’t spoken out but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would,” Liz Cheney said in Friday's episode of The New Yorker’s Radio Hour. “When you have Jeff Bezos apparently afraid to issue an endorsement for the only candidate in the race who’s a stable responsible adult because he fears Donald Trump, that tells you why we have to work so hard to make sure that Donald Trump isn’t elected."

Bush's former White House communications director Nicolle Wallace also urged her former boss to have a "change of heart" and condemn Trump after he criticized Liz Cheney on the campaign trail this week.

“These are the comments we’re talking about right now in the United States of America from someone running to hold the job he had,” Wallace said on her “Deadline: White House” program on MSNBC. “We have a right to hope that those who have stood for freedom and celebrated those who have protected it might have a last-minute change of heart in the closing hours of this campaign."

Wallace added that she was told by Bush's office that the former president intends to continue his silence, but she said she felt she needed to make the appeal publicly anyways.
