Former Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney on Thursday night maintained that she was still a "Ronald Reagan conservative," and believed in fundamental Republican ideals, despite a push to elect Vice President Kamala Harris to the White House.

Cheney, who has been a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump, campaigned with Harris in Wisconsin on Thursday and blasted Trump for his actions related to the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill in 2021. Cheney was the vice chair of the House select committee investigating January 6.

The former lawmaker said she was still loyal to the United States' Constitution, and believed in key conservative ideals.

"I am a Ronald Reagan conservative," Cheney said. "I believe in limited government, I believe in low taxes, I believe in a strong national defense, and I believe that the private sector is the engine of growth of our economy. I believe that the family and not the government is the most important structure in our society. ... I have never voted for a Democrat, but this year, I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

Cheney lost her bid for reelection during the 2020 midterms over her criticisms of Trump, and was also among a handful of Republicans that voted to impeach Trump in the riot's aftermath.

The conservative claimed that she supported Harris because the vice president was trying to unite the country instead of dividing it. 

"Vice President Harris is standing in the breach at a critical moment in our nation's history. She's working to unite reasonable people from all across the political spectrum," Cheney said. "I ask you to stand in truth, to reject the depraved cruelty of Donald Trump. And I ask you, instead, to help us elect Kamala Harris for president."

President Joe Biden, who is not seeking reelection, praised Cheney's speech in a comment to reporters, stating that it was "one of the most consequential speeches I’ve ever heard."

"What she did not took only political courage, but physical courage. Physical courage it took to do," he added.
