Former Vice President Cheney Endorses Kamala Harris Over Trump

Cheney Emerges to Endorse Harris

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a lifelong Republican, has emerged from his political seclusion to publicly endorse Democrat Kamala Harris for president. On Friday, Cheney announced that he would be voting for Biden's VP, Kamala Harris, over Republican candidate Donald Trump. He issued a stern warning to the public, stating that Trump "can never be trusted with power again."

Cheney's Statement

Cheney, who is 83 years old, made a strong statement against Trump. He said, "In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump." He accused Trump of trying to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after voters had rejected him. He concluded his statement by saying that citizens have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend the Constitution, and that's why he would be voting for Kamala Harris.

Response from the Harris Campaign

The Harris campaign responded by expressing pride in receiving Cheney's support. They stated that they deeply respect his courage to put country over party.

Endorsement from Liz Cheney

Earlier in the day, Liz Cheney, the daughter of Dick Cheney and former Wyoming Representative, also endorsed Harris at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. She made even more colorful remarks, describing Trump as a "depraved human being" and calling him and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, "misogynistic pigs."

Trump's Response

Trump responded briefly and fairly quickly on his Trump Social platform, dismissing both Cheneys as irrelevant.
