CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a lifelong Republican, will vote for Kamala Harris for president, his daughter Liz Cheney said Friday.

Liz Cheney, who herself endorsed Harris on Thursday, made the announcement when asked by Mark Leibovich of The Atlantic magazine during an onstage interview at The Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.

“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Liz Cheney said to audience cheers.

Like his daughter, Dick Cheney has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump, notably during Liz Cheney's ill-fated re-election campaign in 2022.

In a campaign ad for his daughter as she sought a fourth term as Wyoming's lone congressperson, Dick Cheney called Trump a “coward.”

The ad did little good for his daughter in a deep-red state that once held the Cheney family dear but is now thoroughly in Trump's corner. By a 2-to-1 margin, Liz Cheney lost her Republican primary to Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman.

Cheney put herself outside the Republican fold when she agreed to be one of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hand-picked GOP members of the Democrat-controlled January 6th Commission.
