Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney said ex-president Donald Trump is "not fit to lead" the US, as she campaigned with Vice-President Kamala Harris, Trump's Democratic opponent, on Oct 3 in Wisconsin.
Ms Cheney and her father Dick Cheney, who was vice-president under former president George W. Bush, are staunch conservatives and two of the most prominent Republicans to have endorsed Ms Harris against Trump.
Both have sharply criticised Trump, the Republican nominee, calling his refusal to accept his 2020 election loss and his role in the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol disqualifying.
"I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray tanning," Ms Cheney joked, describing herself as a Ronald Reagan conservative. "I am proudly casting my vote for Vice-President Kamala Harris," she said, her first vote ever for a Democrat.
