Sen. Kamala Harris was elected as presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate was “surprising,” said rep. Liz Cheney on Wednesday, and set the California Democrats’ voting record in the Senate.
“Joe Biden has really tried to portray himself as the moderate in this race, as someone who’s a centrist, and in one fell swoop he put someone on the ticket whose voting record in the Senate left Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Told Cheney, R-Wyo., “America’s Newsroom. ”
“It simply came to our notice then. They will look at what they stood for in the past, they will look at what they said at the primary elections. ”

After much anticipation, Joe Biden announced Tuesday that his vice presidential selection would be Harris, the California senator and his former opponent in the presidential primary.

Cheney said Harris is a “radical liberal” who “supports $ 32 trillion in funding for ‘Medicare-for-all’ health care coverage.”
“If you look at her record in California anyway, she’s in fact banned gun sales with executive action and she threatened during the primaries to do the same as they were elected here,” Cheney said.
“I think the American people will look at this record and realize that they are very much a radical liberal.”
