Steven responded by sharing words of comfort and encouragement he received from famed Pastor Greg Laurie after losing his daughter Maria. "I received a message from him," Steven said. "A very simple, short message. And he said, ‘I just want to remind you of this: Because of what we believe and know is true and our hope in Jesus, our risen Savior, we know that our future, your future with Maria, is infinitely longer and greater than your short past.'"

Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Cheney said at an event hosted by Duke University that she would vote for Harris. “I think it is crucially important for people to recognize, not only is what I just said about the danger that Trump poses something that should prevent people from voting for him, but I don’t believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states,” Cheney said. “And as a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she added.

Adam Kinzinger and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan. “The Vice President is proud to have earned Congresswoman Cheney’s vote. She is a patriot who loves this country and puts our democracy and our Constitution first,” campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. Cheney, who is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a vocal critic of Trump, previously told CNN she is committed to doing what’s necessary to stop the former president from returning to the White House. “Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns & health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal gov’t. She wants to recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle. We won’t give her the chance,” Cheney said in 2020.

Cheney has also said that Trump would attempt to stay in power beyond four years if he was elected to a second term. In the same interview on NBC’s “TODAY” show with host Savannah Guthrie, Cheney said that she would “never vote for Donald Trump, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that Donald Trump is defeated in 2024.” Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee, criticized Cheney during a moderated discussion at an event hosted by the conservative group Turning Point Action on Wednesday night. “A very good thing that I could say about the next presidency of Donald J. Trump is that he’s going to make sure people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded,” Vance told moderator Charlie Kirk.

Gloria Romero, former Democratic majority leader in the California state Senate, has switched to the Republican Party. She has also endorsed Donald Trump for president. “Today, I say goodbye. Adios. I’ve had enough. I am now another near lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people, including key groups like Latinos, who are leaving the Democratic Party,” Romero said. “This is not the Democratic Party that I once championed. I do not recognize it anymore, and I cannot continue. I changed my voting registration today as the sun was rising to Republican, which has, under Donald Trump, become the champion of working people, the big tent. And indeed, I will vote for Donald Trump this fall,” she continued.

Adios. I've had enough. I am now… pic.twitter.com/RK5wCOyQTw — George (@BehizyTweets) September 4, 2024 Los Angeles Daily News reports: Romero, 69, was born in Barstow. She was elected to the California Assembly in 1998 and to the state Senate in 2001. She represented the cities of Azusa, Baldwin Park, Covina, Duarte, El Monte, Industry, Irwindale, La Puente, Monterey Park, Rosemead, West Covina and Whittier. Romero was the first woman to serve as the California Senate’s majority leader and was termed out in 2010. “Like many frustrated Democrats, Senator Romero no longer recognized her former party,” California GOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said at the news conference. “We welcome everyone to join us in this fight to make safer communities for our families, better schools for our children and a stronger economy for us all to thrive — because California deserves so much better.” Millan also said Romero is part of a larger trend, noting that California Republicans saw their voter registration increase by about 200,000 voters over the last year while California Democrats saw their registration decrease by more than 100,000. In her speech, Romero provided a laundry list of reasons for exiting the party. This included the loss of parental rights in schools, increased crime, the rising cost of living, California’s homeless crisis, excessive funding for foreign wars and the lack of border security.

Immigration, crime, and the rising cost of living were topics of her criticism as well. “But perhaps my biggest disconnect with my old party now has been over school choice, education freedom, and the right to have quality schools for all, especially as congressman Kevin Kiley and I have fought together, especially for school choice for poor and minority children who are trapped in chronically failing schools,” she added. Romero concluded that she left the party “with sadness, but it is with the belief that this is best for the future. I stayed for as long as I could. I tried reforms, I spoke out, I voted. Today, I turn to the future. A land of opportunity and free speech. I am excited to join a party that was started by the greatest American, Abraham Lincoln, and the challenges of building a new great republic.” After leaving office in 2010, Romero has been increasingly critical of the Democratic Party. In a November 2021 op-ed for the California Globe, she warned about a decline of the party unless an overhaul was undertaken.
