Washington, D.C. – Former Vice President Dick Cheney has announced that he will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Cheney’s daughter, Liz Cheney, revealed this surprising decision in a statement released earlier today. The endorsement, she explained, was significantly influenced by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s public support for Harris.
In her statement, Liz Cheney noted, "My father has always been driven by a deep sense of national security and global stability. When he learned of Putin’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, it made him reassess his own position. He believes that Harris’s candidacy represents a stabilizing force in an increasingly uncertain world."
Putin's endorsement, made through a series of media interviews and state-backed channels, has raised eyebrows worldwide. The Russian leader’s support for Harris, coupled with his criticisms of other candidates, has been interpreted by many as a strategic move to influence the U.S. election in favor of a candidate who might challenge current Western policies.
Dick Cheney, known for his influential role in U.S. foreign policy during the Bush administration, has long been a figure associated with strong national security stances. His decision to back Harris, despite her Democratic affiliation, underscores a remarkable shift driven by geopolitical concerns rather than partisan alignment.
The announcement has sent shockwaves through political circles. Critics argue that Cheney’s endorsement might be seen as a ploy to undermine the credibility of Harris’s campaign, while supporters view it as a strategic endorsement meant to counteract Putin’s attempts to meddle in American politics.
Harris’s campaign responded to the news with a statement expressing gratitude for Cheney's support. "We welcome the endorsement of Vice President Cheney and his commitment to the security and stability of our nation," said a campaign spokesperson. "Our focus remains on uniting Americans and tackling the pressing issues of our time."
