Ex-president suggests former US representative should have rifles ‘shooting at her’ as race enters final days

Donald Trump repeated his aggressive attack on Liz Cheney at a rally in Michigan on Friday, one day after he first said the former Republican US representative should be under fire with rifles “shooting at her”.

Trump’s comments came as the presidential campaign enters its final stretch, with both the former president and his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, battling to woo voters in Michigan and other key swing states.
