Days after Liz Cheney announced her endorsement of Harris, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, followed suit.

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” the former vice president said in a statement released in September. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.”

Jimmy McCain is the youngest son of former Sen. John McCain, whose military service Trump insulted by saying, “I like people who weren’t captured.”
McCain told CNN’s Jake Tapper in September that he registered as a Democrat after years as an independent and would vote for Harris.
“I feel that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz embody a group of people that will help make this country better, that will take us forward. That’s really what matters at the end of the day,” he said.
He also slammed Trump’s August visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where he filmed a campaign video and clashed with a cemetery employee, as “a violation.”
