The younger Cheney was speaking with the Texas Tribune when she shared her father’s intentions. Just days earlier, Liz Cheney said she would be voting for Harris for president. She has been one of former President Donald Trump’s fiercest GOP critics following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. 

Dick Cheney first endorsed Trump for president in 2016, but he has since grown to see Trump as a “threat to our republic.” He appeared in several primary ads in which he called Trump a “coward.”

“If you think about the moment we’re in and you think about how serious this moment is, my dad believes and he said publicly there has never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is,” Liz Cheney said.

Liz Cheney lost her reelection bid in 2022 to Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman. Now, the former congresswoman has gone on to campaign and endorse multiple Democratic candidates, including Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), who is challenging Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

“You might not agree on every policy position, but we need people who are going to serve in good faith,” she said. “And in this race, it is Colin Allred. And I’ll be working on his behalf.”
