Former Vice-President ***** Cheney to vote for Kamala Harris

Former US Vice-President and lifelong *********** ***** Cheney has confirmed he will vote for the Democrats’ Kamala Harris in November’s presidential election.

Mr Cheney, seen as an influential figure during the presidency of George W Bush, issued a statement saying there had “never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump”, the current *********** candidate.

His daughter, former *********** lawmaker Liz Cheney, had told an audience in Texas earlier that her father planned to back the Democratic nominee.

“He [Trump] tried to steal the last election using ***** and ********* to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,” said Mr Cheney. “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 added. “That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice-President Kamala Harris.”

Mr Cheney’s remarks were welcomed by the Harris camp.

“The vice-president is proud to have the support of Vice-President Cheney, and deeply respects his courage to put country over party,” said campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon.

Mr Cheney joins a growing list of Republicans who have expressed concern about the candidacy of Donald Trump.

His daughter, Liz Cheney, has already given her backing to Vice-President Harris.

She served on the House select committee investigating the 6 January Capitol riots, and was one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach former President Trump after the incident.

Ms Cheney lost her seat in Congress in 2022 to a Trump-backed candidate.

Taking to social media following Mr Cheney’s statement, Trump called the former vice-president an “irrelevant RINO” – an acronym which stands for “*********** in name only”.

He also described Mr Cheney as the “King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars” – alluding to his role in the Iraq War.
