Former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney now endorses Harris
Washington, September 7 (Hibya) - Dick Cheney, George W. Bush's No. 2 and a former vice president who served in other Republican administrations, said Friday he will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election.
It is one of the most significant defections from the opposing party to the Democratic candidate two months before Election Day and marks a remarkable historic moment.
“In the 248-year history of our nation, there has never been a person who poses a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement of support, echoing her daughter's remarks hours earlier. After voters rejected him, he tried to steal the last election, using lies and violence to keep himself in power. He can never be trusted with power again.”
Cheney said he would vote for Harris to fulfil his civic duty to “put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution.” These words seemed designed to persuade other conservatives - especially those in positions of influence - to support a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time similarly.
