evidence: Former Vice President and influential Republican Dick Cheney released a statement announcing his endorsement of Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Speaking out against the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, Cheney said that he can "never be trusted with power again." [...] Harris was asked about the Cheneys’ endorsement while on the campaign trail, visiting a spice shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She said she was "honored" to have their endorsement, and that it represented the opportunity to "turn the page" on partisan divisiveness. [...] Meanwhile, on Sunday, Sept. 8, Senator Bernie Sanders—a former contender for the Democratic presidential nomination—appeared on NBC's Meet the Press, where he was asked by host Kristen Welker about the Cheneys' support of Harris. "What I think Dick and Liz Cheney are saying is that in this existential moment in American history, it's not just issues," Sanders said. "Cheney and I agree on nothing, no issues. But what we do believe in is that the United States should retain its democratic foundations."
