Vice President Kamala Harris just nabbed a major Republican endorsement in her mad dash for the White House: former Vice President Dick Cheney will be voting for her.
The former vice president released a statement Friday, a couple hours after his daughter, former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (R) disclosed her father’s plans.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” reads the 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.”
“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution,” he wrote. “That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Earlier Friday, Liz Cheney broke the news of her arch-conservative father’s support for the Democratic nominee while speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Friday.
