Former Republican Vice President Will Vote for Kamala Harris
Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney will vote for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the 2024 election, he said in a statement released Friday, shortly after his daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, revealed his intentions.
“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” the former Wyoming Republican lawmaker said during an event at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.
“If you think about the moment we’re in, and you think about how serious this moment is, my dad believes — and he said publicly — there has never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is,” Liz Cheney added.
Dick Cheney, 83, has been an outspoken critic of Trump, and in his statement, he argued that the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” read the former vice president’s statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.” (Read more from “Former Republican Vice President Will Vote for Kamala Harris” HERE)
