Former vice president Dick Cheney, a staunch Republican, has vowed to vote for Kamala Harris in November, according to his daughter, former congresswoman Liz Cheney.
She said her father believes “there’s never been an individual in our country who is as great of a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is.”
Meanwhile, some of Trump’s allies have issued concerns about the family’s latest venture, a new cryptocurrency startup called World Liberty Financial.
Although it hasn’t launched yet, the startup has already attracted scammers. The X accounts of Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump — neither of whom are involved in the venture — were hacked this week, prompting some Trump supporters in the crypto sphere to fear that the business could hamper his election prospects and bring on additional legal woes.
Ahead of the presidential debate next week, the Harris-Walz campaign is setting out on a “weekend of action” in what it describes as an effort to emphasize the dangers of Trump’s Project 2025 with battleground voters. The Trump-Vance campaign also appears to be focusing on battleground states, as the former president has a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Saturday.

Caporale previously served as an aide to first lady Melania Trump. He left the White House to work for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign. He was also a project manager for the Jan. 6 rally where Trump urged the crowd to “stop the steal” before the riot at the Capitol, according to NPR.
