Republican stalwart says, ‘There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.’
Former United States Vice President Dick Cheney, a lifelong Republican, has said he will vote for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said of the Republican contender and former US president.
Cheney, who served as vice president under President George W Bush from 2001 to 2009, confirmed his endorsement of Harris in a statement on Friday and said Trump “can never be trusted with power again”.
“He [Trump] tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,” Cheney said.
“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,” he added.
