And because of the danger that Donald Trump poses—not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Cheney said Wednesday at a Sanford School of Public Policy event at Duke University in North Carolina. Cheney, a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, served as vice chair—and was one of only two Republicans—on the House committee that investigated the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump’s efforts to change the result of the 2020 presidential election. Jeremy Adler, a Cheney spokesman, confirmed her statement. Elected to a House seat in Wyoming in 2016, she was defeated by a primary challenger backed by Trump in 2022\. More than a year earlier, in May 2021, she had been ousted by fellow Republicans from the third-ranking House GOP leadership post of conference chair. Resentment against her arose after she became one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over allegations that he incited the assault on the U.S. Capitol. Jen O’Malley Dillon, the chairwoman of Harris’ campaign, said in a statement on Wednesday night that the vice president was “proud to have earned Congresswoman Cheney’s vote. She is a patriot who loves this country and puts our democracy and our Constitution first.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7017998/liz-cheney-support-kamala-harris/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7017998/liz-cheney-support-kamala-harris/"},"headline":"Liz Cheney Endorses Kamala Harris","datePublished":"2024-09-05T02:05:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-01-19T11:46:29.000Z","description":"“Because of the danger that Donald Trump poses—not only am I not voting for Donald Trump but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” the former chair of the House GOP conference said.","url":"https://time.com/7017998/liz-cheney-support-kamala-harris/","keywords":["Kamala Harris","wire","overnight","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d03c816891c6eac/698a5a97cabb1d2a39e54843/liz-cheney.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Billy House and John Harney / Bloomberg"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d03c816891c6eac/698a5a97cabb1d2a39e54843/liz-cheney.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Liz Cheney","caption":"Former U.S. Representative from Wyoming (R) Liz Cheney speaks onstage during the 2024 Martin Luther King, Jr. Beloved Community Commemorative Service at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Jan. 15, 2024 in Atlanta, Ga.","creditText":"Paras Griffin—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/kamala-harris/","name":"Kamala Harris"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7017998/liz-cheney-support-kamala-harris/","name":"Liz Cheney Endorses Kamala Harris"}}]}] ```
