Cheney said former President Donald Trump "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. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him," he said in a statement.

Cheney's daughter, former Wyoming member of the House Liz Cheney, also announced this week that she would be voting for Harris.
