Cheney faces opposition from moderate Republicans as they back Trump.
Large numbers of voters who are not MAGA Republicans supported Trump.
Despite the efforts of opponents such as Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney, moderate Republicans heavily supported President-elect Trump.
In Tuesday's election, 74% of Republicans who did not identify as "MAGA Republicans" voted for Trump nationwide, according to Planet Chronicle voter analysis.
Kamala Harris spent the last few weeks of the campaign trying to win over moderate Republicans by appealing to them, in an attempt to divert votes from those who typically shun Trump and his "MAGA" movement.
Cheney, a former GOP lawmaker known for clashing with Trump, was at the center of Harris' campaign to win over Republicans.
In late October, Cheney and Harris embarked on a three-state battleground tour, where Cheney emphasized her opposition to Trump as a constitutional conservative.
During a stop in Michigan, Cheney stated that she believes she may be more conservative than anyone else and that defending the Constitution is the most conservative value. She also expressed her opposition to the nominee of her own party.
Several prominent Republicans, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, and former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, joined Cheney in endorsing Joe Biden for president. However, former President George W. Bush and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, did not endorse Trump's bid for president and did not offer an endorsement of Harris.
In battleground states, non-MAGA Republican voters largely supported Trump, mirroring the national numbers.
In Georgia, the largest number of non-MAGA Republicans voted for Trump, with 82% supporting him compared to 16% supporting Harris.
In battleground states, non-MAGA Republicans in Nevada showed the least support for Trump, with 68% backing Trump and 26% supporting Harris.
Cheney acknowledged the election results in a social media post on Wednesday and urged people to accept them.
"Last night, our nation's democratic system produced a new President-elect. As Americans, we must accept the election results, regardless of our feelings about the outcome," Cheney stated.
Cheney's representatives did not respond to a Planet Chronicle Digital request for comment.
