Most recently, Cheney made heads turn with his endorsement of then-Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in the 2024 presidential election.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement in September 2024. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”
“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris,” he continued.
Cheney had supported Trump in 2016 but turned on the GOP leader following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
Cheney had experienced heart problems for much of his adult life, suffering five heart attacks. He later got a heart transplant in 2012, about three years after retiring from his high-profile White House job.
“It’s the gift of life itself,” he told a podcast a few years after the procedure.
