His daughter, former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, had earlier revealed during a Texas event that her father would be supporting the Democratic candidate.
“He [Trump] tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,” said Mr Cheney. “He can never be trusted with power again.”
