Former vice-president Dick Cheney confirms he will vote for Kamala Harris

Lifelong Republican makes announcement day after daughter Liz also endorses Democratic candidate

The former vice-president Dick Cheney, a lifelong Republican, will vote for the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, in November's presidential election, he said in a statement on Friday.

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 said of the former president and Republican nominee. 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.
