The Harris campaign denounced Trump\u2019s words as \u201cviolent rhetoric\u201d. \u201cThis is how dictators destroy free nations,\u201d the former Wyoming congresswoman responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Trump campaign rejected the criticism, calling Cheney a warmonger and that they were making a point abut her hawkish foreign policy views.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">But Bush has indicated he does not plan to take a position on the election, despite other members of his circle choosing to back Harris. Cheney\u2019s father has come out for Harris. \u201cIn our nation\u2019s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,\u201d Dick Cheney said in a statement. \u201cHe can never be trusted with power again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Bush\u2019s daughter Barbara Pierce Bush has also said she was backing Harris and, according to the Harris campaign, has been stumping for the Democrat in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, a must-win area north of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Wallace said she still hoped that the former president could be prevailed upon. \u201cWe have a right to hope that those who have stood for freedom and celebrated those who have protected it might have a last-minute change of heart in the closing hours of this campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-10\" class=\"dcr-jzxpee\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"newsletter promotion\" class=\"dcr-av5vqf\">\n<p class=\"dcr-1xjndtj\">Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning<\/p>\n<p><gu-island name=\"SecureSignup\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;newsletterId&quot;:&quot;today-us&quot;,&quot;successDescription&quot;:&quot;Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning&quot;}\"\/><span class=\"dcr-1eusqlu\"><strong>Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
