Former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the most influential and hawkish conservatives in the modern Republican Party and a figure reviled by the left, will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in November, his daughter Liz Cheney said on Friday.
Former Representative Liz Cheney, the once high-ranking Republican from Wyoming who sacrificed her political career by breaking forcefully with former President Donald J. Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, this week said she would be voting for Ms. Harris.
Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas, on Friday, she revealed that her father, an unapologetic partisan, would be, too.
“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Ms. Cheney said, a remarkable statement that the Cheneys themselves could not have foreseen making even four years ago. Mr. Cheney served as White House chief of staff under President Gerald Ford; secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush and vice president under President George W. Bush, when Mr. Cheney was the architect of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. He was viewed by Democrats as such a force of darkness that he earned the nickname Darth Vader.
Mr. Cheney has previously broken with Mr. Trump, calling him a “threat to our republic” and a “coward” in an advertisement he starred in for his daughter’s final Republican primary, in 2022, which she lost by 37 points to a Trump-backed challenger.
Ms. Cheney on Friday tried to frame the joint family decision to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee as something beyond party, one that had to do with country and “duty.” She explicitly rejected the idea of not voting at all, as some conservative Republicans have signaled they plan to do.

He can’t announce himself? Has he shot anyone lately?
What a Dick.
Sigh... oh well, he always was a Dick.
I don't think any Republican, anywhere on the spectrum of Republicans, has thought of this guy since 2007. And he's kept a lower profile than Bush.
Oh, don’t tell me, George W Bush is going to vote for Kamalalala, too!
They were all lying, sacks of crap communists all along.
I’m waiting for the Bush family pronouncement.
Dick and Dickess, the Cheney girls.
Amazing. Zamfir and his Magic Pan Flute would be a bigger endorsement.
‘Oh, don’t tell me, George W Bush is going to vote for Kamalalala, too!’
That comes in the third week of October.
During the second week, the Bush women will endorse Harris and Jeb & George will follow.
There won’t be one.
The Bush Crime Family betrayed Republican voters. Never vote for anyone associated with them again.
I’d like my votes back, thank you very much.
The Bushes are all CIA linked globalist Marxists. To hell with them.
Who cares ,LOL
>> Oh, don’t tell me, George W Bush is going to vote for Kamalalala, too!
I wouldn’t be surprised.
On the other hand, I’m certain George H. W. Bush will be voting Democrat. ;-)
Translation: Dick Cheney never really was a Republican, just a deep stater.
The Deep State has made its selection.
They have chosen treason over the people they serve.
Then he should rot in hell and I don’t have enough curses for that pos.
