Cheney expressed strong opposition to former President Donald Trump, stating that he believes Trump poses a significant threat to the republic due to his actions following the 2020 election.
Cheney’s decision to endorse Harris is notable given his long-standing role within the Republican Party as vice president under President George W. Bush. His daughter, Liz Cheney, a former member of the House of Representatives from Wyoming and a vocal critic of Trump, also announced her support for Harris.
