Former Vice President Dick Cheney has thrown his weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that former President Donald Trump "can never be trusted with power again." Cheney's support for Harris, a Democrat, is a striking move from the longtime Republican leader, underscoring the deep divide within the GOP over Trump's role in American politics.

In a statement, Cheney emphasized the need to prioritize the Constitution over partisanship, saying, "As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

This endorsement follows an announcement by Cheney's daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney, who has been a vocal critic of Trump and his continued influence on the GOP. Liz Cheney has made it clear that her opposition to Trump extends beyond words—she will be campaigning for Harris in key battleground states ahead of the 2024 election.

Liz Cheney also reiterated her support for Democratic candidates like Rep. Colin Allred, running for Senate against Ted Cruz in Texas, as part of her broader effort to combat what she sees as the danger posed by Trump-aligned election denialism.

Trump responded dismissively to Dick Cheney's endorsement, calling him "an irrelevant RINO" in a post on Truth Social. However, the Harris campaign welcomed the support, praising Cheney for putting country over party.
