Katie Couric Instagram – Former Vice President Dick Cheney announced Friday that he plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, “There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”
His daughter, Liz Cheney, who endorsed Harris earlier this week, first made the announcement about her father hours before to The Atlantic’s Mark Leibovich.
“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.”
While Dick Cheney, who served as VP under former President George W. Bush from 2001-2009, initially supported Trump during his first presidential bid, he became critical of him following the Jan. 6 insurrection.
In a 2022 campaign ad for his daughter, he called Trump a “threat to our republic” and a “coward.” Liz Cheney ultimately lost her seat in Congress in the Wyoming primary to Trump-endorsed Rep. Harriet Hageman. Liz Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the attack on the Capitol and served as vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee. | Posted on 07/Sep/2024 16:48:45
