“In our nation’s 248 year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Mr. Cheney, 83, said in a statement. After Mr. Trump’s actions trying to steal the 2020 presidential election and then using “lies and violence” to keep himself in power, Mr. Cheney said, “he can never be trusted with power again.”
The hawkish conservative and vice president under President George W. Bush has broken with Donald J. Trump before. Earlier this week, his daughter Liz Cheney said she would vote for Ms. Harris.
