Former Rep. Liz Cheney said Friday that her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, is voting for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in November.
Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said Friday that her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, is voting for Democrat Kamala Harris over GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump in November. “Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” the former Wyoming congresswoman said at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas. Liz Cheney’s revelation comes just days after she herself announced that she would be voting for Harris, citing “the danger that Donald Trump poses.” A vocal critic of the former president, the former congresswoman had previously told CNN she was committed to doing what’s necessary to stop Trump from returning to the White House, and she suggested Friday that her father shared her views. “If you think about the moment that we’re in and you think about how serious this moment is, you know my dad believes – and he said publicly – that there’s never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is,” she said in Austin. Dick Cheney’s support for Harris represents a stunning move for the staunch conservative who was vice president to George W. Bush and a longtime congressman from Wyoming who held several leadership roles in the House Republican Caucus.
