Former Vice President Dick Cheney said that he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over fellow Republican Donald Trump in the November election, warning that the former president "can never be trusted with power again".
"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 in a statement. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again."
In her remarks Friday, Cheney unleashed a torrent of criticism against the Republican presidential ticket, calling Trump "a depraved human being" and labelling him and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, "misogynistic pigs." "If you think about the moment that we're in and you think about how serious this moment is, you know, my dad believes – and he said publicly – that there's never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is," she said.
"He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him," Dick Cheney said of the former president in the ad. She argued Friday that Trump and Vance were "doing everything they can to drive Reagan Republicans away" and that the duo "certainly do not reflect the importance of that Reagan philosophy of peace through strength and a strong national defence."
