Dick Cheney issued a statement Friday evening in which he portrayed Trump as an existential threat to the republic.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney wrote. “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. “As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Liz Cheney, who was ousted from her House seat by Wyoming voters during the 2022 GOP primary, put her weight behind Harris on Thursday.
