Dick Cheney did not support Donald Trump. He was a vocal critic of Trumpā€”as was his daughter Liz Cheney. In 2022 he appeared in a video for her reelection bid to the House of Representatives and said, ā€œIn our nationā€™s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He is a coward.ā€ During the 2024 presidential election, Cheney endorsed Trumpā€™s Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris. Both his daughter and Harris were defeated at the polls.
