Donald Trump and Liz Cheney have been embroiled in a war of words throughout the campaign.
Liz Cheney has said Americans should respect the outcome of the election following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
The former congresswoman, a prominent critic of Trump, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and appeared alongside her at several campaign events in key swing states.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Cheney said that the nation’s democratic system had worked as intended and that all Americans, “whether we like the outcome or not”, must accept the results of the election.
“Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night, and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections.
“We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years.
