Liz Cheney Joins Kamala Harris in Wisconsin

Liz Cheney, a prominent Republican critic of Donald Trump, is set to join Democrat Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Wisconsin on Thursday in a bid to appeal to moderate voters and challenge the former president. Cheney, who led the House investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection, has distanced herself from her party after losing her Wyoming seat to a Trump-backed opponent, and her endorsement of Harris last month marked a significant shift.

The event will take place in Ripon, where the Republican Party was founded in 1854, making it a somewhat unusual choice of location for Harris. She is campaigning in Wisconsin and Michigan as part of her strategy to secure the pivotal "blue wall" states, including Pennsylvania. This alliance between Harris and Cheney reflects a broader trend of some Republicans opposing Trump. Harris aims to attract independent and conservative voters disillusioned with Trump's refusal to concede the 2020 election. Trump will hold a rally in Saginaw County, Michigan, on Thursday.
